The Highlands in Scotland, United Kingdom

You find here photos of Scotland's Northern Highlands region, taken with a full-frame Nikon mirrorless camera in May 2023. The Scottisch Highlands' fascinating landscapes are marked by sparse population, treeless mountains, stunning cliffs, mediaeval castles, ghostly ruins and overwhelming clouds. The photographs were taken in May 2023 along the famous road North Coast 500 (NC-500) and in Cairngorms National Park. You find here images of Queen Elizabeth II's summer residence Balmoral Castle, Sinclair Castle ruins, Duncansby Head light house and Duncansby 'Stacks', the stone-age Broch Carn Liath, the 4,000-year-old Hill-a-many-stanes, and more.

Sal's capital is Espargos. You may need to go there for medical matters and you find pretty coloured houses there, but altogether this city with its very small historical center is less attractive than Santa Maria and Palmeira. People, however, are as kind and open as elsewhere.
