This is an image of Cairn Holy II; the second of the chambered cairns near Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway. This one is also surrounded by walls and has a farm shed close by but it sits on a little pinnacle and can be photographed in daylight with care. However, I thought it would suit the night-time treatment too, so it was photographed the same night as my last image. The cairn was lit by a small LED head torch, that has a very similar colour temperature to daylight, so I had little colour correction to do here and the lighting is less harsh than in the other photograph of Cairn Holy I.
Thanks for looking and a huge thanks to those who voted and clicked on my previous image. A special thanks go to Dougie (Scottishlandscapes) for the UA.

Great work Fraser, cold as can be on a hill in the weather we've had of late. I'm just back from Torridon and caught a glimpse of the stars and the Plough once, early morning.
