Birch mist inversion, Craigellachie, Strathspey.
Indian summer came this week, after last week’s snow. Three days of fantastic clear blue sky & daytime heat – what we’ve been waiting for since April!
I climbed up Craigellachie, our local hill, to get above the morning mist which filled the valley like a glacier.
This photo was taken just where the mist broke and the sun came through, catching the already-golden birch tree tops.
One side of the ridge was still in thick mist, the other already deep blue, producing a stunning contrast.
“We all like to congregate at boundary conditions. Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where bodies meet mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other.”
– Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless.
