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

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
