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
