Highlands Hoodies

Digital elaboration by Bulgan Lumini from antique Wari Tunic 600-1200.In ancient Andean cultures including the Wari empire, clothing communicated much more than style; a ceremonial tunic like this was an object of great prestige. Its production required the cooperation of a large community of skilled individuals. Because it took so long to create, multiple weavers would often collaborate on a single piece. On close inspection, variations in weavers’ individual styles can be seen in the weave structure as well as the interpretation of the repeating pattern. Before the weavers could begin their work, several other professionals were required. Agricultural specialists bred the animals and cultivated the cotton. Applied chemists created a varie

The river Dee starts as a couple of pools high on the Cairngorm plateau (well Braeriach plateau actually). I've stepped over the infant stream - a green edge ribbon across the bare gritty plateau - on one of my mountain walks. From there it drops into the deep U shaped Lairig Ghru valley, following its course South to this point at the edge of the big mountains of the Cairngorms. Beyond here it tumbles over the Linn Of Dee (about a mile away), and then settles down for a sedentary trundle through royal Deeside (passing Balmoral) and out to see at Aberdeen. I've seen much of it on my travels, but its this spot that I like best, and I hope you like it too. Painted in oil on a 12x12 inch board using a wet into wet technique. Track down the...

Wade's bridge at Aberfeldy, Highland Perthshire, Scotland Built-in 1733 Wade's Bridge crosses the River Tay on the northwest side of Aberfeldy on the Weem/Kenmore road. It is one of over 40 bridges built in the Highlands between 1726 and 1735 as part of General Wade's road construction 'for securing a safe and easy communication between the highlands and the trading towns of the low country' as the inscription on the bridge reads.

Wee Hamish is a cute Scottish Highland Cow with a white coat and black horns. He is a friendly and playful character that will bring a smile to your face. He is sure to be a great addition to any home.

For the entire afternoon I spent in Landmannalaugar (in Iceland's Highlands), I kept looking around thinking how the landscape couldn't possibly be real. The rhyolite mountains shifted from browns to reds to greens and back again, and seemed to change with every turn of the head. It really did feel like I was in an impressionist painting; I wonder if the two hikers in this shot felt the same?

Amazing Highland Cow

This is actually a view from Kyleakin on Skye. Its an old ruin you can walk to at low tide (or with a bit more difficulty at high tide). Caisteal Maol is believed to be 15th century, built to extract tolls from ships passing through the narrow straight it guards. Standing proud on its hillock its a great viewpoint rivalling the nearby Skye bridge for the handful of visitors that wander over each day. However pick the wrong time and the midges come to join you for lunch. From my experience I now think of this as the midges home, from where they go out scavenging across the Highlands.
