Glen Etive, Scotland
[the_ad id=”61716″] I was walking the wonderful Glen Etive in wet, cloudy conditions with boots heavily laden with mud, hoping for the opportunity to capture pictures of what I know is one of the most beautiful valleys in Scotland.

Autumn Windmill Woods Near Macclesfield, England

Picca Falls, Ingleton, Yorkshire, England
The Yorkshire Pennine district is well known for its wet weather and over the millions of years these Pennine mountains have existed, this excess of water (as both ice in the Ice Ages and as surface water in the more temperate times) has marked its passage on the land.
