<p>A common sight on the West Highland Way is the &quot;Honesty Box&quot;, which usually has a variety of food and related supplies, with a cash box for leaving payment.   Pumpkin Cottage's had ice cream!<br />
<br />
(I was surprised at how many of these had food items out; in my neck of the woods the local wildlife would have absconded with those immediately)</p>

<p>Big skies, rolling fells and the shifting play of light: this is the Lake District at its most open and inviting. I wanted to capture that sense of space, with a grassy path leading the eye into a valley framed by tall clouds and distant peaks.<br />
<br />
Shot at Ullswater, Lake District, on a Leica D-Lux 7. I used a wide composition to show the depth of the valley, layering the foreground meadow, wooded slopes and far hills beneath a dramatic sky. In Adobe Photoshop, I refined contrast and colour, bringing out the cloud detail and the rich summer greens.<br />

<p>Rubha nan Gall Lighthouse also known as Tobermory Lighthouse on the north side of Mull overlooking the Sound of Mull with Ardnamurchan and Kilchoan in the background on the mainland of Scotland.<br />
<br />
This image looks cold and it was.  Although Ardnamurchan had sunshine and on the south facing side was maybe warm, we were in the shade and under the cloud and the wind blew.  Still, it is a good walk out of Tobermory to the lighthouse if you can do it, quite narrow in places but you can't get lost.  The lighthouse like many around the coast of Scotland is one designed by the Stevenson family.<br />
<br />
It is a traditional lighthouse designed by Thomas and David Stevenson. Built in 1857 and manned until 1960 when the light was automated, operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board. The tower is on a small islet joined to the keepers house and the shore by a bridge. The light is exhibited from a black-painted lantern room at the top of a 19 metre white-painted masonry tower.<br />
