Loch-Assynt-Tree-Island - a photo on Flickriver

            Walking along the shore of Loch Assynt in the North Western Highland Region of Sutherland in Scotland, I was hopeful of finding the mythical mermaid that is said to live beneath the waters.

Alas, just like not seeing the Loch Ness Monster a few months earlier, I was to be disappointed.
However, I did manage to find this beautiful little tree island just before sunrise. The promised sunrise, just like the mermaid quickly disappeared and the sun was never to be seen again - the Scottish clouds and rain quickly turned this tranquil scene into one of a photographer quickly running back to his car fighting of the horizontal falling hailstones...how the weather systems change so quickly in the Scottish Highlands.
