Loch Ard two...

In September I posted one picture from my trip to Loch Ard in March 2011.  The water was crystal clear and it was mirror calm meaning that even though the sky was overcast the reflections were beautiful. I had such a great trip and got some lovely shots so wanted to share a few more today.  I hope you enjoy them, I will and I will enjoy the memories that they bring back too.

As I was driving home from work today I was listening to a track  Elk by This Town Needs Guns from their 2009 Album Animals.  I was trying to decide what picture I would be posting to my blog and as I listened to this tune I visualised this photograph taken back in March 2011.  I can't really say why I matched music and picture but they seem to fit.  

The day I took this photo of Loch Ard in The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, was a really good day.  I had gone up to Glasgow for work and once my appointment was out of the way I spent the day touring around the area.  I really made the most of the time I had and when I look at this and other pictures from that day it all comes back to me.  The only downside to the trip being the really dodgy haggis and chips I had for lunch.

Here it was so peaceful and as you can see the surface of the loch was mirror calm. I had visited this spot about 20 years previously and had been entranced by the view so to go back and capture it like this was a real treat.
