The second and third of these were taken on the Quairang, which is a place that somehow looks like it came from a 1950s Viewmaster Reel stereoscope even while you're standing there -- the colours seem old-fashioned and the depth of field is all wrong. It was astonishingly cold up on the hills, even through the several layers of clothes and the special high-tech hikers' fabric coat-thing I was wearing over them.
(In the first photo, the blue blob is Maddy on top of a hill in the Fairy Glen, which is a peculiarly miniature place.)
