Dont Throw Rocks

Dont Throw Rocks
Ellenabeich is a small village on the isle of Seil – an island on the east side of the Firth of Lorn, It is a former slate-mining village and is where parts of Ring of Bright Water were filmed. Seil is one of the Slate Islands. It is also the departure point for the small Passenger ferry to nearby Easdale which is another of the Slate Islands, The Quarry referred to on the stone is the flooded slate quarry behind the wall.

Shot in 16.9 so a large view may be better, HWW !

For anyone who has the time or the interest I have added a link to the Slate Islands, www.southernhebrides.com/slate-islands-roofed-the-world

Such a fantastic "detail" shot Roger............and I love the shapes and colours of the rocks too. I find it amazing that there is even a need for such a sign..........why would people even think it's OK to do that?

My dear Roger, such a wonderful pic of your Ecosse ! ************************************************
One of my friends had visited it and was enchanted by each and every landscapes he had seen and admired! l regret now in discovering your beautiful captures l hadn't followed its advice. This Slate-island particulary!
