The Cross On The Hill
I have been going to this area of Scotland for years (Udrigle, Wester Ross, Highlands). If you are traveling from Achgarve to Melon Udrigle, on the winding road you will pass a large hill and on top is a huge, roundish rock (around 7 foot tall). Very out of place considering there are no other rocks around this size for miles (which begs the question – How did it get there?). And on top is this cross, which has been on for countless years.
For years i had meant to climb the hill top to get close to it, but never got around to it….. until last year. So i hiked up there with my gear to bring you this photograph. This image has taken the most time to get right out of all my work. It has been a year since i shot this photograph and tonight i have finished it after many different edits, this is the one.
Enjoy.

Gorgeously done… Very sombre and yet comforting at the same time…

You bet I enjoy it, and thank you for making the
climb to bring us this fabulous piece. I love your
ability to capture shots that are so full of emotion
and mystery. It screams at me to explore and
investigate and come up with a story, real or
imagined. Excellent work.
