Mells Waterfall.

One of my flatmates and I went on a walk around the village of Mells in Somerset to look for the abandoned iron works there. It was for her to film them as part of her final year project. I went along for the chance to take a few pictures. The site was even better than we had been expected with abandoned cottages and bits of old mill dating back about 150 years or more. Along the way we came across this pretty little waterfall.

Cold Plunge

The Fairie Pools on the Isle of Skye are gorgeous. Located in Glen Brittle and a short and not too strenuous walk from the car park these are definitely worth going to visit. To the East the pools and Glen are overlooked by the Cuillin, the largest mountain on the island. We took the stroll up to the pools, although did not go all the way. having found a pool with a reasonably easy scramble down to the water, I decided to go for a swim. The water in the pools is crystal clear, deep and absolutely freezing. It is well worth taking warm clothes with you or perhaps investing in a wet suit like the other people swimming that day.

Beautiful Rockies

Taken somewhere along Highway one in Canada. The views there are amazing and every corner brings something different to see. I have decided that if I ever get the chance; I will hire a car and drive along the Highway taking the detours off of it to go into the mountains and experience the country.

The Highlander

Taken whilst on a drive around the Scottish Highlands with my family.We came across a filed full of different breeds of cow, which had no fences securing them in. I decided to get out of the car and get a bit closer to some of them, who seemed quite friendly and so I managed to get some photos I was pleased with.

Along the Parkway

My last visit to Canada before this year’s three week adventure was seven years ago. However it was two years prior to the last trip that I was taken to Jasper National Park by my parents. To be told we were making the roughly 6 hour round trip to see the Glacier Skywalk, a feat of engineering, designed by our family friend was an excellent surprise. The drive up the Ice fields Parkway is one of the most scenic journeys I can think of and had I have been driving on my own I know for a fact that I would have made those 6 hours drag on forever. Something that astounds me about this photo is the colour of the sky; according to my Grandma’s Calgarian friends this colour is simply ‘Alberta Blue.’

From the window..

A lot of travelling occurred whilst in Canada with several trips on the Greyhound coaches. This shot was taken from the window seat on the final journey, returning to Calgary. Most of the trip had been overcast, but as the coach approached Banff the cloud cover broke and the sun came out, allowing me to capture this photo of the mountain as we drove by.
