About
Loch Eilean, Cairngorm, Scotland.
This is probably the most interesting and exciting conditions that I have witnessed this little lochan plunged into. Thick snow over two feet deep covered everything bowing trees and transforming the familiar. During the course of the day the clouds parted and left a truly magnificent sky in its wake. The long raking golden light bouncing off the underbelly of clouds is such an opposite hue to the blue sky that has reflected onto the pillows of snow at the edge of the loch.

Beautiful Ian. I particularly enjoy the mirroring of the cloud shapes and the shapes of the foreground snow. The reflection is the icing on the cake. Regards Jim
