The risen sun spotlights one of the "Three Sisters of Glencoe," with Stob Coire nan Lochan, 1,115 metres, far right, Glencoe, Argyll, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Grandeur.

Majesty.

Stark, awesome reality.

Born of fire and ice.

Eons ago, site of a supervolcano

whose caldera collapsed

in a cataclysmic moment.

Further gouged and furrowed

by active glaciers in the last ice-age.

This landscape is as raw, brutal and magnificent as it comes.

Glencoe, world-famous for its overwhelming splendour.

Landscape at the cutting edge.
