Frozen Loch Morlich

Mist rising, Loch Morlich Our snow is finally melting after a week of perfect Scandinavian conditions. Loch Morlich is pictured here with sunset approaching.  The sun had been warming the ice  all afternoon (warming being a relative term – the daytime high was minus 10 ). As the sun dipped, a band of mist rose […]

Pine in the mist, Loch Vaa

Ice Pine, Loch Vaa This pine stands proud on  its wee island in frozen Loch Vaa.  The ice and mist combined to make quite an atmosphere. “Think of the darkness inside your eyes as invisible space.  As light travels from the outside into this darkness, it can demand us to change.  What we perceive as […]

Birch mist

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 […]
