Colours, Patterns and a Convenient Bothy

My wife and I had a recent appointment in Aberdeen. Thanks to Aberdeen City Council's (ludicrous) bus lane/gate scheme it is now almost impossible to drive in the city without being fined (£1 million+ in fines collected from the scheme's first few months seems testament!) and having fallen foul myself, now refuse to take my car to Aberdeen. With the limited train sevice times unsuitable we ended up on the express bus service(which I have to say was far better than expected). I spent almost the entire journey head down reading. However at one point I looked up and spotted a scene I thought would make a decent image. Fast forward a couple of days and Rob rang to suggest a day out with the cameras. A little Google Map research put us roughly in the right area around the Glens of Foundland and with reasonably favourable weather conditions, I was able to capture the scene spotted from the bus; intriguing patterns and shapes of the hillside fields, a lovely colourful border of wild flowers (Rosebay Willow Herb?) and a conveniently placed ruined bothy to anchor the scene.
