The Hairy Loch

Isle of Skye, Scotland

Unframed archival pigment print

"The locals on the Isle of Skye call it the Hairy Loch for good reason, owing to the grasses growing in profusion in the shallow waters. Loch Cill Chriosd is its real name, and it was lit up with the first rays of sunrise on this beautiful morning, a calm scene on a stunning island.  Many legends are attached to this place: that St. Columba drove away an evil spirit in 570 AD (something he did a lot); that a shape shifting water horse (Kelpie) took up residence and in the form of a handsome young man lured maidens to their death in the loch; even that a Norwegian princess named Saucy Mary is buried on top of Beinn na Caillich back there. A true living landscape." 

PREMIER FINE ART PRINTS

Each photograph in Jim's premier collection was selected for inclusion in the National Geographic Fine Art Galleries, which are no long in business. Now we are now able to offer these images directly to you, printed personally by Jim. These limited edition prints conform to the NGFA edition numbering. Prints are signed and numbered only when they conform to his Jim's exacting standards of the best fine art printing available today.   

Images are printed on Epson's Legacy Baryta II paper, a beautiful OBA free heavy fine art paper which makes a sumptuous visual presentation. Printed with Epson's Ultrachrome inks for the greatest archival print longevity and color gamut. They are embossed with Jim's studio blind stamp to confirm that each print was created by him.

Print sizes denote the actual image size. Printed with a wide margin of white paper to facilitate handling, so the total paper size will be larger than these print dimensions.
