With anywhere new that I visit I like to take photos of the surrounding area, rather than just focusing on the one subject. It helps to build a story of the area and if I'm honest I just enjoy trying different things.
The real landscape highlight came on my third night, right outside the Craignure Inn... my luck was in as a Aurora alert popped up and sure enough a green glow could be seen from the jetty at Craignure back across towards the mainland. I was mesmerised by the sheer number of stars visible when the sky was clear. Freezing cold I watched the Aurora with awe and after about an hour and a half it died down, so I turned around and photographed Craignure under a star-lit sky...
