There will obviously be thousands by the time we've finished, but with almost every turn in the road a potential great shot, it is impossible to stop when you want to, and if you did, you would never get anywhere!!! It's only when you are stopped in a particular area, or on something like our small cruise, that you get some of these chances.
(The day we were at this part of Loch Spelve on Mull, some went ashore, and Lee and I stayed on board, enjoying the peaceful afternoon. They had a much closer look, but there emerged from the woods, a small herd of seven deer. Just magic!)
The other problem is cars, and people. They are everywhere, and can be in every shot you want to take of anything ancient, which sort of destroys the mood. I have been taking lots of photo's of buildings and architecture, simply because the greater percentage of buildings in most of the old towns, are just stunning, with the most ornate stonework. And then there are those with turrets, and lofty places, and grand windows, and multiple chimneys.
The occasional landscape shot will often present itself, but again you have to be quick to seize the moment, or make an effort to go back and take that shot, if you get the chance.
One thing you can rely on are photo's of water, and hills fading into each other, and especially, sunsets.
