View from Sterling Castle, Scotland
Wonder when would I have a million quids to own something like this ;)
Early morning Moon from our hut. We rented a hut overlooking Loch Ainort on Isle of Skye. The water, during high tide, almost touched my bedroom window. This so called village Art Dorch had only two huts. You could see the other one in the background.
Loch Ainort
The needle like structure in the background is called "The old man of Storr". The road in the foreground is one of the most scenic drives in Scottish Highlands.
My love for water bodies - hard to die ;)
View from "The Quairaing". Right most point of the road was the starting point for our walk.
"The Quiraing" - The spectacular glacial age rock structures are one of the most fascinating escarpments on earth. You could see "The Table" on the left and "The Prison" in the center in the background. Another structure called "The Needle" is hidden behind "The Table". The Quiraing was formed by a great series of landslips during glacial age and it is still moving today. The road couple of miles to the right of the Quiraing requires repairs every year. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirang
Some other escarpments behind "The Quiraing". This walk had some of the most fascinating scenaries I have ever seen. I literally needed to pinch myself couple of times to check whether I am still alive, felt like I have been transported to a wonderland (possibly heaven he he). 
View atop the ridge that shadows the Quiraing. 
The Quiraing from top of the ridge. You can see only "The Table". "The Prison" and "The Needle" are hidden behind the Table. Our walk started at the bottom of the Quiraing and we circled around it to climb the top of the ridge and walk back to the starting point. A good 5-6 hours walk.
The full moon on the Christmas Eve.
The Duntulm Castle. We tried another walk starting here but had to abort our plan because of extremely strong northern gusts. We were not able to stand let alone walk in some 70-80 mph gusts.
