Hey guys.

Nothing special just a few snaps taken with a digital compact in the form of a Panasonic Lumiz TZ5.

On the ferry from Mallaig to Armadale:

Not a bad little point and shoot camera and it shoots HD video too:

Bloody sheep!

Although due to me not wanting to upload a 300mb file to youtube it isn't in HD anymore!

I'm really tempted to get myself read up on photography and get a proper camera. Would love to take some really good pics.

The real item on Balamory - =Tobermoray ,on Mull .What did you think of the road -philje - from Fort William to Mallaig - of course now most of it is decent standard - about 45 min trip now -the bit left was always the best bit -when I first started driving it anything less than an hour was boy racer stuff -48miles of bad road - If you'd had the time I'd have suggested travelling bits of the old road - past Morar sands - and the last bit into Mallaig .For interest -the bit on the left of the ferry pier was the original village -full of kippering sheds and fishing homes - and if looking to spend some more time - next to the station is Mallaig Heritage Centre .

Edit -to add - tip for anyone meeting Black faced (can say that nowadays:D) sheep -stop and if they don't move slap the side of your door with the palm of your hand - that makes the little blighters move -usually off the road . Don't have an argument with them - only saw two things that won one -an old Moggy 1000 and a Seddon truck .(And at times even the local dogs were terrorised by the sheep )

It was a pretty stunning drive and must have only come across about 2 cars that I soon made short work of! ;)

They have been re-surfacing a lot of the road and improving the barriers on the long sweeping bends so the road itself was pretty good.

Did a bit of driving around on the mainland and there were some amazing roads... just a shame I was stuck following my mum driving her 2.0 auto RAV4!! lol
