Loch Lomond and some of its 30+fresh-water islands at sunrise 04:33. Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Argyll, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Oh, bright new day.

A fiery glow in the eastern sky, silhouettes the hills above

the distant shoreline, of the iconic, Loch Lomond.

A plethora of tantalising islands blacken the indigo hills

of the far shore, five to six miles away.

Breathless silence orchestrates the first hour of a spectacular dawn.

The dichotomy is whether to just stay here and see this loch’s vistas transform as the light intensifies; or race on and see other venues unfold their beauty to this slow but ravishing pyrotechnic display of an exquisite sunrise.
