Driving in the Highlands: Part 2

So, here are some more pics from our driving adventure. We decided to drive the northern route to Durness, and here are some of the things we saw along the way.
We pulled over when we saw a waterfall on the other side of the loch, and were a bit shocked when we got out of the car. You might want to click on this picture and look near the bottom. We found that we had some friends all around us when we stopped.

We looked around and noticed 30-40 Red Deer, some down by the water, some up on the hill and some crossing the road.

Seeing the Red Deer was definitely unusual, while, on the other hand, seeing sheep was not.

This sheep was nice enough to use the passing place.

To continue our animal theme, we also saw a lot of birds flying around. There is not much else I can saw about that, other than that it was a great drive. The Northern highlands had a very different feel than I expected. I expected a lot of greenery, which there was, but there were also shades of maroon, red, yellow, purple, and brown. It was similar to what fall would look like with the leaves changing, but the whole countryside looked like that. It was beautiful.
