  • Today I'd like to take you on the first half of our autumnal Scottish Highland adventure! We explored an abandoned village, foraged mushroomed and had to cross a waterfall. I hope you enjoy!

    Moving to Scotland was one of the best things that I’ve ever done
    It’s so beautiful and so much positive energy around
    It’s hard to be negative in such beautiful surroundings

    I have found several abandoned townships in the Scottish Highlands, like the one in this video, with silent, empty, fallen-down houses now overgrown by nature. All those who once lived there now long dead, but still lingering there is the sweet sadness of their memory.

    This is so refreshing to watch. We are having the worst ever drought here in California. I live by a creek, and for the 33 years I have lived here, it has never dried up until now. It dried up in May, incredibly, before the dry season even started. Wildlife are really suffering here because of this drought, and we are saving and re-using, as possible, every drop of water.

The amount and spacing of the comments, the choice of music and the volume you had, the selection of scenes, their composition, the length of time you held a scene - all perfect.

    I grew up in Virginia and remember Autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains as the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I had a small house near the top of the mountain and the views of the Shenandoah river winding through the valley below are permanently etched in my mind. The smell of the leaves and the crisp breeze bringing the hint of smoke from the chimney is still vivid. That is the only place that felt like home to me. I am old now and left the Blue Ridge many years ago, but I hope to return once again before I leave this Earth. I hope it hasn't changed too much but alas Virginia is nothing like it used to be.

    Just finished and completed the Great Glen Way. The colours are beautiful, I know many love seeing Scotland during summer with those big bright colours but for me it's all about the rain and the creeping mist. I will be honest and say that at times I prefer to be antisocial, I need to recharge the soul and its best done when you feel that you are the only person on the planet when exploring the hills.

    You dont hurry from one place to the next for the best and dramatic shots and selfies, you giving yourself time and space to feel the landscape and the nature, down to smallest details.
    Its really a pleasure to watch.
    I was in scotland five years ago, I and my friends did our best to enjoy this country and landscapes to the fullest.
    I am a bit homesick now.

    Hi! You should come to Magallanes, in the extreme south of Chile, in Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales (Torres del Paine) Here the lands are extremely similar to the places in Scotland. Cold, rain, snow, wind, long nights in winter, long days in summer, reddish sunrises, unique and beautiful sunsets, an enormous vastness, surrounded by sea and islands, a silence and almost poetic connection. A history of indigenous human population of about 10,000 before our era, tragic situations of the last century and a half such as workers massacres and an ethnic genocide (Selknam, Haush, Kaweskar, Yamana) and the regrettable and horrendous acts of the English, German and French known As Human Zoos, however, this is all part of something very unique and precious. The capital of this region of Magellan is Punta Arenas, next to the Strait of Magellan, an enormously well-known route that attracted the first Europeans about a century ago here, especially English, Scots, Yugoslavs (at that time), Austrians, Italians, Russians, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Germans, Norwegians, etc. Perhaps, it would be very nice if you knew this magical place. Fraternal greetings from Punta Arenas, Chile
