From the Tulla Viewpoint a sunrise image, 05:39, of a band of cloud following the Waters of Tulla over the river and bridge carrying the main A.82 road, with Beinn an Dothaidh looming beyond, Argyll, Scotland.
Commentary.
The A.82 from Glasgow to Inverness is a road of countless scenic views:-
Loch Lomond,
Ben More and Stob Binnein from Crianlarich,
Ben Lui from Tyndrum,
the pyramidal peak of Beinn Dorain
from south of Bridge of Orchy,
Loch Tulla, Rannoch Moor, Glencoe,
Lochs Leven and Linnhe,
the “Nevis Range” from “The Commando Memorial,” near to Spean Bridge and the plethora of exquisite scenes to be
witnessed along the full length of the “Great Glen.”
Just north of the Bridge of Orchy, the A.82 climbs from about 150 metres at Loch Tulla to over 315 metres at Rannoch Moor.
It does a major rise, north-east of Loch Tulla via a large, dramatic hairpin bend.
I stopped at the summit to take this image.
What caught my eye was the thin, dense, discrete
ribbon of cloud that extended beyond Loch Tulla, going eastwards.
Below the cloud, two vehicles can be seen on the A.82, a car going south and a lorry, going north.
The lorry is about to cross a small steel-arch bridge that takes traffic across the Water of Tulla, flowing east out of the nearby Loch Tulla.
Above the strip of cloud are three pylons carrying Electricity Transmission Cables.
On the far side of these is the Main Railway Line to Fort William, via Rannoch Moor, Loch Treig and Glen Spean.
Nearly five miles south-east are several tops to the mountain
called Beinn an Dothaidh, 1,004 metres (3,294 feet.)
Bodies of water of all sizes frequently cause such strips of cloud from dawn as rapid condensation follows evaporation,
but this one was amazingly narrow, focused and dense!
