    It is indeed spectacular, even in autumn as these shots were taken. Here is an HDR I did of that cathedral from a distance:

    wow Shogan thanks a lot for posting these. Truly stunning photos!

    we obviously don't have any scenery like that around here, its just looks so very 'unfamiliar' and oozes history all over lol

    Haha knew that would get a comment like that from someone!

    @soulburner : I guess we all have our advantages and disadvantages... You got easier access to stuff like the Grand Canyon :P I wouldn't mind seeing that in person!

    @hoax and TSXmike : Thanks I had never been to Scotland before, other than for business, so this time we took a 5 day trip there, and spent 3 of them on a tour, which showed us most of the scenery and history. Was good fun, and really well worth the money spent! Next to see is the rest of Europe, and then USA!
