Winter playground of Aonach Mor, 1,221 metres, in the Nevis Range, where skiing is very popular, Lochaber, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Afternoon sun gleams brilliantly off of snow-laden Aonach Mor

and cotton-wool Cumulus Clouds.

Shade produces the icy-blues so typical of snow scenes.

Skiers ski, snow-boarders snow-board.

Freezing temperatures above 4,000 feet give way to a balmy, mild day near sea-level.

Leanachan Forest, miles long and wide, carpets a large area at the foot of the Nevis Range, on the floor of the Great Glen.

The mountain shimmers brightly as the changing light catches the undulating bluffs and ridges.

A stirring scene of winter splendour, captured from the Commando Memorial, near Spean Bridge, for this is where they trained.
