A postman has been photographing the sights and scenery on his rounds in the west Highlands.<\/p>\n

Declan Friel moved to Lochalsh from Glasgow last year and works in the Elgol area of Skye.<\/p>\n

Whenever he has a moment to do so, he takes images of the life and landscapes he encounters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Friel said he had wanted a job in a rural community and felt lucky to find one in a beautiful area.<\/p>\n

He said: “I really enjoy this job as it makes me feel a part of a community and the people of Elgol really accepted me as an Elgolian, even though I don\u2019t actually live there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Friel added: “No two days are the same, whether it’s saving a lamb with hypothermia from a ditch or it\u2019s me and my van in a ditch.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t get as much time as I would like to take pictures on the round as it\u2019s quite busy most days, but I still get to see some spectacular sights on the job.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The subjects for Mr Friel’s photography include cattle and sheep on crofts, and some of Skye’s famous mountains, including Sg\u00f9rr Alasdair.<\/p>\n

He hopes to exhibit his photographs in the future.<\/p>\n

When not taking pictures, the Royal Mail worker has been using his time on the road listening to podcasts to learn Gaelic.<\/p>\n

He has also been picking up some phrases from his customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
