Photo of the Day – 9 October 2016: Glencoe Lochan

Someone with a good knowledge of the local area put me on to this location at Glencoe Lochan and, as luck would have it, I arrived at an optimal time during the middle of the afternoon.  Not only was the sun shining, it was in the right position to make the best of the views and there was not much breeze to break up the reflections.

If my map reading skills are to be trusted, which might be something of a stretch, the long mountain behind the lochan is Beinn Bhan and the peak is Sgorr Bhan.  The lower peak at left is Sgorr Bhan.  It is actually the highest of the three, but appears smaller as it is further away.

This post is part of my occasional “Photo of the Day” series when I publish any shots which I think might be of interest and tell the story behind them.  They might not necessarily be portfolio standard images, nor the final version, but still be of sufficient interest for inclusion in my blog.  If I do not show a shot on any given day, it does not mean that I did not take any photographs, just that I did not get anything worthwhile.  For me, that is part of the fun of photography, not knowing what you will find on a shoot when nothing is planned.
