Yes, I know. It's been a while since I updated my featured image. Part of the reason is that I've been traveling, and part of that time was spent in Scotland. So it's only fair to make the next featured image one from my trip. This one's a landscape, certainly, but one which subtly illustrates the impact of human activity, even in remote regions like the rugged Cairngorm mountains of Scotland.

From high atop even one of the areas more modest peaks, one can see a long way. Here the layers of receding mountains are punctuated by a forest of wind turbines in the distance. (You'll need to click to bring up the larger image, in order to see it). Still, it does lend interest to the photo!

In case you are wondering, that's a dry stone wall that runs along the base of the nearest hill - one of the underappreciated wonders of the British countryside. http://www.absoluteblank.com/landscape#h2f26315
