Monday is rather moody after the storms that followed our heatwave. I recall many similar days in the Torridons of the West Highlands of Scotland….. a lovely dramatic area, one I love so much, despite the ‘dreich’ weather. Yes, there is a word used in Scotland to describe such a damp, dark miserable day, often stormy….. so on a moody Monday I guess its a fitting description – Dreich

Love that area of the world and your capture of the sunlight on the high hills. “Dreich” actually sounds like what you have described – a drenching in the rain 🙂
Always thought it a great word to describe some of our weather….. as that famous adverts says “it does what it says on the tin”. 🙂
This is great photograph and I love too dear David, Thank you, Love, nia
