Spontaneously changing my plans for a day’s hiking to achieve the summit of Canisp, a large and rocky hill in the Assynt region of Scotland.
The road from Easter Ross into the Strathrusdale valley leads into what I felt was the middle of nowhere.
Pottering at home, a trip to Scotland and photographing wild flowers in Switzerland.
