Loch Assynt sunset, Sutherland, Scotland

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

Loch Assynt is a very large inland loch east of Lochinver, which gives its ame to the region. Most people who come to Loch Assynt come to see the ruined castle at Ardvreck, but from a photographer's viewpoint, the one thing that kept drawing my eye as I drove past the loch were several stands of tall trees that seemed to sprout out of the waters of the loch. There are several of these groups of trees, and this is one of the most scenic, located near Little Assynt, looking roughly west towards Lochinver.
