Rocky north shore of Loch Ness looking towards Urquhart Bay and Meall-fhuar Mhonaidh at sunset, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Sweet summer.

Sun begins to set.

Rocky northern shore.

A warm glow bounces off

the glassy surface of Loch Ness.

Foreground boulders mimic the

dominant hump of Meall Fuar-Mhonaidh,

on the fault-bearing north shore,

beyond Urquhart Bay and its castle.

Munro mountains of Loch Lochy

fade to pencil sketches,

nearly 30 miles to the south-west.

A cheerful, cosy, friendly gleam

shows no monsters,

but its mighty self.
