Sunset on the Cuillins from Drumbuie (Olympus Pen E-P7, M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R lens at 40mm, 1/200 sec at f6.3, ISO 200, handheld panorama of 5 images)

I took a walk around the coastal path at Drumbuie last Saturday and took my lightweight Olympus PEN kit with me for a change.  While thiis camera, and certainly the lenses, are not up to the same standard as my professional E-M1 and Pro lenses they have the advantage of being extremely portable and compact.  When doing longer walks, or cycling, I prefer this lighter kit.  Anyway, the light was fading as I set off and I hoped to get a decent sunset looking westward towards Skye.  The evening did not disappoinnt with this image being the best.  I love the contrasting colours in the sky and the light penetrating between the mountains, providing a warm glow behind Beinn na Caillach on the left.  This was a great end to a lovely walk.
