Rum43tsr.jpg

The island of Rum - Scottish western highlands - the Skye Cuillen in the background - a world class view - I think you might agree - my mate digging a fire pit to cook dinner - the whole place is - basically - a nature reserve - so you have to take good care to minimise your footprints - I collected the wood - from un-managed standing dead timber - birch - ideal for cooking. While I collected the fuel - he went fishing.

Dinner - a good sized fish - Pollock or Coalfish - I think - not sure - a relative of Cod - it tastes the same - I gutted it and grilled it in silver foil over the embers with some butter and spices - a fine repast. Next morning we put the roll of turf back into the fireplace - and within hours nobody would have known we had been there.

Leica and film - I.

Leave nothing behind except memories,

Cheers, Iain
 
Stunning image Iain.

Thank you B. - I clearly remember taking the picture - I have seldom experienced the Highlands so still - there was not a sound - not a breath of wind - we were on a multi-day trip around bothies in Lochaber - self-contained - so carrying fairly heavy packs at this point. We'd done the shlep up from Loch Trieg - all uphill - passing the time with discussing how we were going to declare jihad on the Ordnance Survey and their cartographers - for suggesting on the map that there was anything that might actually resemble a path. There wasn't - an uphill bog. We rested for a bit at the top - I realised that the fading light was going to do something quite nice - and this picture was the result. It was another six or seven miles to the bothy - but we made it just before the head torches had to come out. yours - I.
 
Summer mood in Berlin.
