I was out in the early morning hunting landscapes to photograph along the western shore of Scotland's Loch Ewe. I had traveled north past the small community of Coast when this scene caught my eye. I have passed by here many times, but neither the house nor the path which snaked down towards it had caught my attention before.
The house was quite solitary, situated on a rocky point called An Fhaighear Bheag by the shores of Loch Ewe, with the distant Beinn Ghobhlach looming over it; a home set in the wilderness.
I took some time to decide on a viewpoint, eventually coming back to where I had originally viewed the scene. I'd taken a few shots when a yacht came into view, did I want that too? I took some shots with the yacht and left the decision till later.
Across the loch the first landmass is the western shore of the Isle of Ewe, beyond that are the hills around the village of Aultbea, one or two houses are just visible, and finally Beinn Ghobhlach, the forked mountain.
