Rannoch Moor

Early one morning at the Black Mount, on the banks of Lochan na h-Achlaise, Rannoch Moor.

Early morning light at Achlaise

Had a roadtrip through Glencoe with a group of friends yesterday, first stop was Lochan na h-Achlaise at dawn, there was some nice pale colours showing up.

Last shot of the day in Glencoe as the sun sunk behind the Buachaille and a snow storm came in from behind and started to obscure the mountain.

Glencoe, Scotland

Plan B was hoping for a bit of sunset colour in Glen Coe whilst shooting from the small falls near the Kingshouse Hotel known as the Cauldron. LE version

Some more abstract, less is more(hopefully) shots from the trip to Glencoe at night that spilled into the next morning

And it looks cold! Buachaille Etive Mor in the distance.

Dreadful weather here has forced me to look through some old stuff. I wasn't so keen on this originally but a crop seems to...

Taken when I first arrived up at the moor for a night of shooting the milky way. Although the skies were completely clear, which is ideal conditions...

Another image from my night shoot up at Rannoch Moor attempting to get some shots of the milky way. The sky was still perfectly clear come first...

I was recently asked why the skies are always so ominous in my photos. The only answer that I can think of is this...

"And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him."Douglas Adams So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

This will be the last posting for a little while, but I will still be around to view and comment.

Loch Ba, across the road from Lochan na h-Achlaise and perhaps not as popular a spot.

Plan B was hoping for a bit of sunset colour in Glen Coe whilst shooting from the small falls near the Kingshouse Hotel known as the Cauldron.

Took another trip up to Glencoe and the surrounding area, just one of those places you can never tire of, well for me anyway!

On Route to Glencoe and a wander around the shoreline of Lochan na h-Achlaise

Another from Lochan na h-Achlaise a couple of weeks back now.

This spot on the River Etive is known as the Cauldron and the main shot is in the other direction towards Buachaille Etive Mor but I thought I'd exercise the old adage and look behind for a change.

A short walk from the Kingshouse Hotel lies the Cauldron, a small set of falls on the River Etive, with a great view over to Buachaille Etive Mor and Creise, the mountains on the right and left, respectively.

Lochan na h-Achlaise, Glencoe

The essence of this place for me is just the beautiful cottage in midst of the evocative Rannoch Moor.

The view from Lochan na h-Achlaise looking towards the hills of Meall Mor across the water. This is on the way to Glencoe.

Another sunrise from last trip to Lochan na h-Achlaise, seems so far away now. Planning to return to the area just after Christmas and highly looking forward to it.

From the right to left we have Meall a'Bhuiridh, Creise, various peaks and ridges on Stob Ghabhar and at the very left Stob a'Choire Odhair. A multi shot pano and stitched the panorama in Photoshop.
