The simply glorious vista of the mountains of Kintail where Glen Shiel meets Loch Duich. Taken from Bealach Ratagan, Wester Ross, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Glen Shiel.

Loch Duich.

West-coast sea-loch.

Shiel Bridge village.

Sweeping, shapely, undulating

summit-ridge of the

“Five Sisters of Kintail.”

Coniferous forest.

Sun-dappled mountain slopes

in green and blue.

Dark cloud shadows

scud across an ever-changing

sky-scape, as in a time-lapse video.

A dynamic, colourful, vibrant scene that transforms

season by season,

but always impresses.
