This is Scotland at its purest: raw, mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful. This photo of the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye captures exactly that magical feeling you get when you stand in the middle of the wilderness, surrounded by rugged rocks, flowing water and clouds sliding over the mountains like a blanket.
The gentle movement of the falling water contrasts beautifully with the hard lines of the rock. The long shutter speed gives the water that almost silky texture, making it seem like you are looking at a living painting. The autumn colours on the hills add warmth to the cool, misty atmosphere: a perfect balance that makes this place so unique.
This is an artwork that brings tranquillity as well as adventure. Hang it in your living room, office or bedroom, and you bring a piece of that Scottish magic into your home. An image that lets you escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and takes you to the silence of the Highlands.
