Hi Bryan,
This is a fantastic panorama of the rugged hills of Scotland, light and brightness are great. It looks like a calm area, pleasant for trekking or just relaxing. The 'widescreen' crop is very effective here, well done! TFS.
Best regards,
Kristof

Very good panorama Bryan, just for your info

Beautiful scene with a cairn erected to the famous poet William Ogilvie

William Henry Ogilvie (1869–1963) was a Scottish-Australian narrative poet and horseman. He was born near Kelso, Borders, Scotland and arrived in Australia in 1889.

Ogilvie had a deep love of horses and riding and he naturally became interested in the outback. Before long he became an expert station hand, drover and horse breaker, working on such stations as Belalie on the Warrego, and Maoupe in South Australia. He was described as a quiet-spoken Scot of medium height, with a fair moustache and red complexion. He wrote lyrical and romantic poetry noted for its balladic style, with expressive descriptions of outback life and characters. Will, as he was known, also wrote a great deal of work on English and Scottish themes and his work has been included in collections of English and Scottish poetry. All of his work was originally published in and he is most closely associated with Australia.

His love of the outback, dogs and horses is well-reflected in his work (My Life in the Open, Kelpies, The Australian). A collection of Will Ogilvie's poetry was published in (Saddle for a Throne 1952 ISBN 0-9599299-4-0) and was "Dedicated to Comrades of Camp-fire and Muster"; the book contains a foreword by R. M. Williams, who met him in the late 1940's and who was instrumental in publishing the works.

A formal portrait of Ogilvie posing with his Miniature Fox Terrier hangs in the National Library of Australia in Canberra

Hi Bryan,

Stunning Scottish landscape. Impressive panorama. Good light metering and rich colours. I can imagine those hills ablaze in a carpet of purple when the heathers are in flower.

Awesome photo! TFS.
