Hi Georg,
This is an awesome scene. Could you say something about the location, so we can get an idea of the nature of the highlands and the scale. How does the background become so grey? I guess this is just the atmosphere because of the great distance or perhaps there's a persistent fog? Is there snow up there?
The way you have presented this scene is unconventional and shook me at first, as we are used to seeing only the slim bands of layers of distant hills with great stretches of highly colored landscape in the foreground and mid zones. So it's a surprise and a new set of values to see much more distant hills and much less respect and devotion to the nearby landscape. So, if one would carry this track to it's extreme, would you consider blurring the foreground to show that it is indeed, secondary to the highlands. I just wondered how that might be. Or, perhaps, you consider nothing in the picture "foreground", as it's all so far away.

Hi Asher,
It is something I came across last night, and which triggers me to go back there and shoot with a longer tele in portrait, then stitch to get the same frame like you see here, and of course, walk up there and do some other closer shots as well.
What is difficult to see here in this extreme crop is the multitude of old stone walls, on the right there is a round stone structure, remainders of walls hundreds of years old in abundance.
Yes it was fog that creeped up from behind the Hills in high speed, in less than 60 seconds later it was 100% invisible.
It was a shot from february last year, so I might be lucky and get a similar setup again soon. I like it so much that I really want to explore this scene for a large print.

So do you think the walls were for keeping in farm animals or for homes or fortifications?

Good question, at a glance and from that distance I would say to keep animals, and some remaining walls of old houses.

Georg, is it a stitched panorama?

No Peter, it is a crop from a tele shot.
