I would like to go there.
Oh, my.
I just replaced my desktop background with that first one.
Oh it’s the background here, too! And no wonder.
No, this one is different. It doesn’t overlook the loch in the distance.
Wonderful photos of beautiful scenery! And why is it that a steam locomotive always seems to me to enhance the natural beauty (or is that just a man thing – oops, sorry ). As a teenage trainspotting geek, I would have informed you that the locomotive is a “Black Five”, but I’ve put all that behind me now, for when I grew up, I put aside…
My wife and I visited here during our honeymoon. It really is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your photos!
The train takes me back to my childhood, but the hills look like where I live, except for their impossible greenness. And the ferns! And the stone bridge! Lovely, lovely, lovely.
When we ran a Guest House in Oban, just a few miles south of Glenfinnan, we once had an overseas guest commenting on how amazingly green the countryside was; then it rained for a week without letup! I think she began to understand. BTW, it’s actually bracken, a very invasive type of fern, hated by the farmers.
Oh, phew! It’s a railway bridge. I thought you had gone soft on gothic.

Loving trains fer sher isn’t a man thing – although I can’t say I think even a steam train always and generally enhances natural beauty.
