Winter Sunset, Rannoch Moor, Highlands, Scotland by

The winter sun sets behind Buachille Etive Mor, with the hills of Glencoe showing in the distance taken from Rannoch Moor.

Buachaille Etive Mòr is generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland.

Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros.

    this is an amazing image on so many levels, water, mountain, colour in the sky and that tree reaching it’s fingered branches like it’s searching for something ;)) beautiful!

  • Hi Laurette, thanks glad you like it. Took ages for it all to come together for this shot about 2 years ! Love you New moon over Ama Dablam, brings back many happy memories of trekking in Nepal. Fantastic place and wonderful people.
