Initially I would have preferred our car not to be in this photo, but then thought it made a rather interesting contrast with the Dun Dornaigal Broch, which is an ancient drystone roundhouse, dating back at least 2,300 years. It is 7m high in places, though when complete it is thought to have been twice as high. You can see the entrance below the triangular lintel. We drove past it on Tuesday on our way from Ben Hope to Ben Klibreck. It's fascinating to think of people living in such a place, all those years ago.
Ordinarily I would agree with you about the car, I do everything I can not to have cars in my photos but in this case I think it really adds to the shot
The car adds scale to the scene. Amazing to think that it's been standing for so many years. People all those years ago must have been very short or you had to seriously bend over to get through the door
I think it would look imposing on its own, but with the car it becomes even more interesting. The contrast between ancient and modern is always a good set up in a picture. The black and white genre makes it even more appealing.
