Loch Lomond in Ben Dubh, in Luss, Scotland
My friend David (in the photograph) and I went a hill walk to Ben Dubh in Luss (looking over Loch Lomand). It was a cloudy, overcast, autumn day. However, as soon as we got to the summit, of over 700 meters, the sun broke through the clouds and the views were spectacular. This image was shot as soon as we discovered the views over Loch Lomand. As you can see the several islands plotted in Loch Lomand.

What is a perfect day in your city, town, or village? Weather is the initial day maker. If it’s nice, I don’t sit in. I would go a walk, hill walk, drive, explore new places. Then grab some food with some friends and find a sweet spot to chill or go out to a club in town.
If someone was visiting, what must they do? Visit Loch Lomand, rent a log cabin, a boat and trail around the loch. On the next day, climb Ben Arthur (The Cobbler). Then go down to the local pub and have a fish n chips.
What and where is a perfect meal in the place you call home? Deep fried fish and chips, topped with salt and vinegar. My mum and dad go visiting chippies (fish and chip shops) every Sunday all over Scotland. Once they told me that they had travelled 7 hours in total to get a chippy.
