Thanks niblue, you made this both easy and very hard
The favourite place was easy, Strathconon, in the Highlands of Scotland. Generations of my mothers family were brought up here, and I have been taking photographs there for over 30 years.
Now the hard part, which photograph do I use, ( from 100's and 100's ) ?
Here's one from last week, it shows Loch Meig, which was created when a dam was built across the River Meig to provide Hydroelectric power.

08:12 am just as the mist was lifting - K10D + Pentax 10-17mm - at 10mm - 1/25 @ f10 ISO 160
