yes, really moody capture, and I also like the desolate feeling of the 2nd one with no folks in the frame. Really great images.

Wow Ken! That sounds amazing how fast the weather changes there. Sounds a bit like Colorado which also can have fast weather swings with all of its mountains.

I like both of these, but especially #2.

The images were taken a couple of hours later and about a mile higher up the glen than my 2 previous images from Glencoe showing how quickly the weather changes here. Taken at 2 o'clock and looking like late evening. Ken

Incredible photos, Ken! These are the kind of wild, dramatic landscape photos that give me a mix of awe and envy as soon as I open the thread and get the first glimpse as the images start loading top to bottom. Makes me wish I could be there too with my camera. Awesome place.

That looks like rain falling in the first one? I like the drama that it adds to the first photo and the way you composed it with the winding path. The hikers add a color accent and a sense of scale. The second one has a clearer view down the valley and no humans which is always a relief :D Both photos have that nice contrast between the white snow on the peaks and dark rainclouds. Gorgeous place.

Amy it was a mixture of hail nd snow driven by a 50 mph wind and unfortunately I had forgotten to bring my ski mask so the walk back down the glen into the elements was painful. The hikers in the photo were actually 4 photographers from Ireland who had finished taking images of the cairn and were walking back to their car. Ken
