It was near the end of a wet September afternoon in the Highlands of Scotland. When I say wet I do mean wet, the rain was as bad as it gets in the shadow of the big mountains of Torridon. Then unexpectedly a break in the clouds and a touch of sunshine and a great view along Upper Loch Torridon appeared as is by magic…..and those rains were cold enough to leave just a sprinkling of white on the slopes. No time for tripod just jump out of the car, select the best viewpoint one could and then shoot…..well I like it and I hope you do……
Back to today and the weather has been once again rather spring like, not that I have been anywhere to enjoy it. But listening to the weather forecasts for this weekend ahead it does sounds as if we are in for some more wintery weather with snow warnings for Sunday. We will just have to wait and see.
