I have been driving for an eternity. A two week car journey around Lapland was immediately followed by a 700 mile round trip to Traigh Golf Course near Arisaig. The greater the effort the greater the rewards and both adventures were very rewarding even if I left my golf game at home for the latter. I have limited this post to just two images – the first from our last full day at Abisko in Sweden and the second from a late evening drive between Traigh and Acharacle (the view to the small isles from Glenuig). Hopefully both explain why the effort was worth it:

Yes, they certainly do!
Many thanks Pit and thanks for all the likes and RTs on Twitter. I don’t feel I reciprocate sufficiently with other bloggers output but just can’t seem to keep up at the moment, mostly because I have been on the move for so long.
I know how difficult it is to keep up with other bloggers: ever so time-consuming. So, don’t worry. Enjoy your life-style.
Wow what great photos
Many thanks, much appreciated
Just glorious, Robin.
Many thanks Tish – the two images are an accurate reflection of the difference in weather conditions between the UK and northern Scandinavia – how come they get better summer weather in the Arctic Circle.
That is a very interesting question, Robin.
Great shots, especially the last one and thanks for taking us along with you!!!
Thanks Cate, I enjoyed the company 🙂
Wonderful!
Many thanks Sue – given the difference in latitude between the two shots, they look the wrong way round.
😳
Gorgeous!

Thanks Janet – I am tempted to go back to Scotland again in the Autumn – so much easier to get to than Lapland and by then it may have stopped raining 🙂
stunning
Many thanks Maureen, much appreciated
These, along with your other recent photos, definitely prove that all of those miles were worth it. What a summer you’ve had.
Thanks Julie, there is a definite sense of ‘what next?’ – it will probably be another trip to Scotland before the year is out.
They sure do!
… and I got to play some golf as well. It’s a hard life 🙂
Being a contentious soul sometimes, Robin (oh, alright- mostly!) I don’t think you needed to cover that much terrain to get wonderful images. But wonderful they absolutely are! And you enjoyed making all that effort, didn’t you? Feet up now, for a while 🙂
I did enjoy it Jo – where to next I wonder 😕
ooh- I wonder? 🙂
