Turbulent clouds over Glen Etive

Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands ( Argyll and Bute) of Scotland. A single track road, widely regarded as one of the most picturesque roads in all of Scotland, runs from the Kings House Hotel down the glen for some 11 ml/18 km. This meandering road was actually built to serve the tiny hamlets of Dalness and Gualachulainng and several houses and farms. This road ends at the head of the loch, though rough tracks continue along both shores.

Wow, I thought the previous shot had a dramatic sky, but it has nothing on this one!! The different shades of grey and then that chink of brightness is superb. I can imagine the great views as you carry on along the winding road!

Wishing you a good new week,
Rosa.

Wish you a good week also, Doug

Wow this is amazing Doug. The scenery is stunning and that sky is wonderfully dramatic.
The first time we went to Glen Etive there were rhododendrons everywhere. It looked beautiful but I think they were considered to be a nuisance as they take over and we have not seen them there since so they must have done something about them.

You have brought back wonderful memories with this beautiful image

Have a lovely evening

Doug Shepherd ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Thanks so much for your visit and generous comments Carol. We were there in 2017 and the rhododendrons were still there, but certainly not in numbers as I have seen in pictures from previous years. They are beautiful but invasive, smothering the native flora.

Enjoy your day, Doug
