Ben Loyal Sunrise, Scottish Highlands.
Ben Loyal lies in the very Far North of Scotland, in an extremely remote and beautiful location. This is a truly wild place, and the only sounds I heard while photographing this scene was some Wild Geese on Loch Meadie, and a lonesome Golden Plover.
In mid-Summer, the sunset and sunrise are not very far apart this far North, and this was shot around 3.30am !!
PS, we were parked up in a VW campervan, otherwise I definitely would have rolled over and gone back to sleep !
