Glencoe & Isle of Skye, a story and a LF Portfolio

[Vieri]

The first time I took off from Glasgow heading north towards Glencoe and the Isle of Skye, in 2009, I didn’t know how much that journey would have impacted and changed me. Leaving behind the bustling airport area, my wife and I passed the Erskine bridge and quickly got to the shores of Loch Lomond, where I started realizing we were in for something unique.

The weather was cloudy and moody, but that was just perfect for the landscapes under it. The color palette was muted, hues of dark greens and browns reigned, and the waters of the Loch took a metal tone that made them both ominous and inspiring.

Driving north, we passed Crianlarich, Bridge of Orchy and the switchback over Loch Tulla, finally getting to the top of Glencoe. Glencoe and the surrounding areas are spectacular, dramatic and full of photographic inspiration and opportunities. For me, Glencoe is the place where Scotland slowly started getting into my soul, never to leave.

The whole story is a bit too long to fit here, you'll find it - together with the whole, 25 images Portfolio, on my blog here:

Beautiful examples of your work Vieri that look even better than ever with your new large format direction. I love all of them but the last one especially keeps me looking back up at it. I love the mood of that image.

Hey Vieri,

That sounds like such a great trip! I will have to come back and read your blog.

But in the meantime, I like the teasers you posted here. Such awesome B&W work. They are all awesome, with #2 and 4 really standing out to me.
