I have got more to upload from this week of going up Loch Etive as far as we could by car For summer pics we will have to find someone else as we don't get days off like this in the summer But we hopefully will try the Glen Etive one again in October when we take a few more hours off for my hubbys birthday. There are so many frozen waterfalls that we think it will be quite spectacular after some of our autumn rainfall As you realise, for those of us far removed, we may never actually get > there. I am trying to take pictures just as we go along as well as of the farms and places - AND of the views from the same My aim is to build up pictures for you all - and visitors to the parish project - to get a real feel of where ancestors lived, worked, looked and travelled. Its a great way to see ones own patch too. Hopefully in time others will do it for their own corner of the world. <grin> In 20 odd years of living here we have never gone down Glen Etive -- it was so beautiful I know you are going to label the shots but, in addition, could I request if > you do more of this to clearly capture road signs, trail signs, house or > farm name signs to further anchor the shots. Where they exist they were taken but yes I will label as many of the mountains and corries and burns etc. There are no many road signs in this neck of the woods <grin> One that said "Glen Etive" But we were surprised at how busy it still is down there. There are many occupied houses right down to the very end We met quite a few of cars. I presume one of those houses > was Dalness, which hugely interests me. It was the biggun !
