Invermoriston Autumn & Salmon leaping

The main road from Inverness to Fort William passes through the village of Invermoriston. Looking upstream from the bridge over the river you can see old old bridge built by Thomas Telford.

Walked onto the old bridge and shot a video which included a leaping salmon. I grabbed this image from the video. In over 50 years of trying, this is the first time I’ve ever successfully photographed a leaping salmon. It made my day. Once I get Adobe Premiere figured out for HD I’ll post a video of the river and the salmon.

and for comparison the same view without he salmon

By Loch Ness

Travelling home in the late afternoon the autumn colours were impressive. Here we are at the side of Loch Ness with a couple of views over the water.


I have removed the second view as the image and © have been sold.
(It was similar to the view above. S.)

Kessock Bridge, Inverness

I was at the opposite end of the Great Glen yesterday, in Inverness. Weather was great. Missed seeing the dolphins though the locals said they’d been seen as the tide came in. Contented myself trying to be creative with pix by the road bridge.

This from directly underneath the bridge supports remind me of the graphics used for aliens’ legs in space invader movies.

I used a wide angle lens for this as I wanted to include the word ”Lifeboats”.
The building is the RNLI station adjacent to the Kessock Bridge at North Kessock village.
