Eilean Donan Castle, this was taken a few minute after the sun had set.

Eilean Donan Castle sits at the point where three Scottish Lochs Meet, Scotland's Most Romantic Castle. In a superbly beautiful and romantic setting, Eilean Donan Castle possesses a dream like quality.

The most photographed castle in the world? Certainly Eilean Donan is Scotland's most romantic and recognizable. Although the island of Eilean Donan has been a fortified site for at least eight hundred years, the present building dates largely from the early 20th century. Today's castle, which rose from the ruins of it's predecessor, was rebuilt between 1912 and 1932 by Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap.

Eilean Donan is quite unique, the product of an incredible feat of determination and devotion to restore the Castle for the MacRae family. It is hard to believe that the present castle has yet to celebrate its 100 birthday, but easy to be absorbed by the atmosphere of a place which has stood witness to so much history.

Hi Daniel, excellent night view of this famous castle, with a greaqt composition, full of mood and with some few beautiful sunset colours and amazing reflection on the lake.
thanks, ciao

Derek, you got something very special here. I wish it would be larger to explore it better, but it's OK. The 4s gave a great and nice blurr in the water. Good composition with all the sky confereing a light and mood to your image.

Hello Derek!
fantastic sky and great reflexion in your composition!
Beautiful colours and lovely perspective!
Excellent done!

Hello Derek, what a great photo of this Scotland's most romantic and recognizable castle. Those clouds perfectly add very dramatic and dynamic look to the mysterious atmosphere of this place. Beautiful shot. Lucie

Hi Derek, i really do like this one, at first sight i thought there was lacking perhaps a little light particularly onthe house but after a second look it works for me.
Terrific reflexion on water, really love the blue aspect of this picture, moody one, and i can almsot see the loch ness ! ;)
Excellent

hello Derek,
A nice long exposure of a good night shot at the blue hour.
good reflexion, colors and light.

didier
