Glencoe Day3

[Ken Rennie]

Good forecast with few clouds and very light winds in the morning. I slept past dawn and arrived at Lochan na-h-Achlaise just before 07:00 and found blue skies and almost peefect reflections.

I would have liked some clouds so decided to wait and see if they appeared and I got lucky

I had at least 2 more locations that I wanted to photograph
Buachaille Etive Beag, this is the first time that I have set out to photograph this mountain, I usually photograph its big brother Buachaille Etive Mor. It is only a short walk from a car park to this Lochan and yet again I was alone. A few photographers were back at the car park but they didn't bother to walk the few hundred yards to get a better foreground

A 3 shot pano stitch

Back to the car and a few miles along the road before a long hike to come out above Glencoe.

As you can see I am still wearing cold weather gear becayse, despite the sunshine, the temperature is just about 40F. That was it for me, I had hiked about 25 miles over the last 3 days, most of it in Wellies, and my feet were hurting so home a day early. Since returning the temperatures remain below freezing at night and in the low 40sF during the day. Despite tge date Spring seems a long way off. Ken

Looks like a nice day for reflections in the first two images. I like your pano stitch of Buachaille Etive Beag - a neat view of the area although I'd hate to have to try to pronounce that name. Beautiful view from above the valley to end the set. Thanks for bringing us along.

What a fun third day. I like your pano a lot. It's amazing to me how many photographers will just not walk a few feet to get better photos.

And I can imagine that 3 days in rubber boots would be killing your feet. I know just 3 hours will kill mine. Unless yours are made better, our rubber boots here have absolutely no kind of supportive insole.
