Kichurn Castle

Posted by
Harry (Apex, NC, United States) on 2 June 2024 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

I am determined to get through some folders of unprocessed photos so I can clear out my disk. This is from my trip to the islands of Scotland in 2022. We were lucky to arrive at the castle when a rainbow arched over it. I have left this unprocessed because there was a string of high tension power lines running along the hill behind the castle that I wanted to remove, so I put off dealing with it then forgot.

According to Wikipedia: "Kilchurn Castle is a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was first constructed in the mid-15th century as the base of the Campbells of Glenorchy.."

It was worth the wait to see this photo: It's a composition that completes an already evocative landscape, from the sheep to the rainbow, from the castle ruins to the ready blue sky... Wonderful!

Great light and landscape. There are two rainbows that I see. A faint but wider one on the right. Congrats on your featured photo.

@Ron: I did not see the second rainbow until I was processing it, but it s a subtle but positive element

Congratulations on the Spotlight Harry! This is such a beautiful scene with the castle, the gorgeous landscape and the magnificent rainbow! I rarely ever see a rainbow where it touches the ground like this one does. I was sure that there would be a pot of gold there. The whole image is bathed in beautiful golden light. I love it!

This is a beauty! Love your composition - castle, sheep, trees, and the rainbow - they all balance the scene very well. You handled the light superbly. Fantastic work.
