Knocking on Heaven's Door
"Last nights sunset from one of the many tracks around a hill called 'Knock of Crieff' behind the Crieff Hydro Hotel. Looking down Strathearn towards the Glenartney Forest. The sun has dipped behind the mountains putting everything in shade but giving the sky a nice warm glow. Patches of mist can be seen in the middle distance. Feels like spring is on the way." – SwaloPhoto

Clyde Gold
Looking down the Clyde towards the tall ship Glenlea berthed at the Riverside Museum. Govan, April 2013.
Liquid Light, Duntulm Bay, Isle of Skye, Scotland
"Five minutes before I captured this image http://www.flickr.com/photos/dvattika/8582737572/, there was beautifully warm sunset light touching the tops of the distant rocks. If you pay attention, you will notice that even the tops of the rocks below the water surface have caught the highlights of the last rays of the sun.
This is nature at its best, when irresistible forces attract landscape photographers in all corners of this planet. This is when enjoyment becomes the elixir of life, the product that keeps us going. Aren't we landscape photographers strange creatures?" – Dimitri Vasileiou

Sunset over Ardgour Mountains
Sunset over Loch Leven & the Ardgour mountains. Ballachulish, Scotland
Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye, Scotland
"Waiting to capture a beautiful sunrise from the banks of Loch Fada on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Suddenly, storm clouds arrived and shelter had to be offered by the nearby tree. A snow storm seemed to spoil the morning but soon the storm passed, leaving some cloud hovering around the Old man of Storr. A splash of early morning light turned the hill to a bright pink/orange glow that lasted less that one minute. I was lucky to catch the second part of that glow with the orange hues." – Dimitri Vasileiou

Neilson's Monument, Barstobrick
Neilson's Monument is a substantial obelisk at the summit of Barstobrick Hill in Dumfries and Galloway. It is dedicated to James Beaumont Neilson (1792 - 1865), who invented the hot-blast process of iron-making and once owned the Queenshill Estate on which the monument stands. The monument reaches 10.6m (35 feet) in height and was erected in 1883 by Neilson's son, Walter Montgomerie Neilson.

Taransay
"This was a pretty epic sunset, we were camping just above this beach (Horgabost) on Harris. It had been windy all day, but at sunset it just dropped and the Sound of Taransay was like a millpond. I think I stayed out watching the light fade til about 2am!" – Christopher Swan

Comet Panstarrs
"A thin band of cloud skimming the horizon moved just enough to reveal Comet Panstarrs, newly arrived in the northern sky..." – Mike Bolam

Back at the Storr
Isle of Skye, Scotland.
"Another shot from a wonderful sunrise at The Old Man of Storr. This one is taken from a mound on the eastern side of the footpath to the summit of The Storr. Here, the Old Man stands proud with a glorious view of The Cuillin behind. On this particular day, the early morning light was especially dramatic." – Marcus Reeves
Dawn in Assynt, Scotland
"Beautiful but cold morning in the North-West Highlands. This picture was taken from the top of Canisp with the sun just about to rise in the East. Behind me, in the West, Suilven was hidden beneath heavy clouds and fog." – Svensi

Loch Droma, the new dawn
"Day 1 of my Inverpolly & Assynt photographic workshop and we were faced with an unexpectedly and stunningly amazing sky. As one would expect, this first encounter with nature's amazing performance put us all in a mood for some extraordinary photography." – Dimitri Vasileiou

Last light, a winters eve
"Sunset from Kinlochleven, The Highlands, Scotland
From my trip last week up to Scotland; I'd not taken the camera out that bag on the previous day. The light was that grim. So after a fairly acceptable sunrise and the forecasts looking rubbish for the following days I reckoned this would be my last opportunity.
As I began my ascent from the shores of Loch Leven a band of cloud was moving in from the East. The battle was on. What would happen first? Would the clouds move too far West by sundown obscuring the the sunset resulting in a wasted hike or would they light up with some magical light.
After reaching my vantage point and sitting around and enjoying my hot flask and a bite to eat for a couple of hours it looked like we were in for the latter. Three other walkers had already gone past on their way home and I had what felt like all the highlands to myself. The snowcapped hill tops, a brisk Scottish wind and suddenly the magical elusive light."
