The River Affric by jamibann

The River Affric

We arrived a little before check-in time at the hostel on Wednesday. Midgies were a huge issue ... as soon as you stop, you get eaten alive by them! The only place we could find which was midgie free was the middle of this little bridge over the River Affric, where there seemed to be a small breeze to keep them away. We whiled away an hour there as we waited. A beautiful spot and you can see the hostel in the background.
A fabulous capture of this wonderful and peaceful setting.

What a lovely, relaxed shot. It's odd - our midgies have not been at all bad this year...

This is such an intriguing shot. It looks like an idyllic spot!

Great view- will you be heading up those munros over the next few days? Even though it was the only respite from the midgies, the bridge makes this a wonderfully contemplative shot.

We get them here and they always bite behind my ears.

That is such a cute little bridge

Have a wonderful time, hope the midges don’t eat you alive!

Looks like a nice place to avoid the midges. I hope you bought plenty of bug spray with you!

What a great spot.

@christophercox This is the first time this year we've been bothered, so we felt lucky in many ways!

@christinav Yep, a good dose of Smidge does wonders! And we carry a midge net too.

Great scene and shot. We have a huge drought and nothing is flying. I'd rather protect myself from insects than watch nature wither.

I like the bridge too, very distinctive....
midges would be a big prob for me but this scene is so lovely..

fab shot, the figure makes it.

Wonderful bridge and landscape. The man on the bridge tells a thoughtful story

A nice scene. I thought that might be the hostel in the background when I first looked at the photo.

Beautiful scene and story
