The Awakening

Cries Mountain, Glen Coe, Scotland.

 

Was up really early to drive the 80 miles to Glen Coe to be there for sunrise.

 

Walking through the snow to where this photo was taken I heard a loud crack and fell through some ice into a stream with freezing cold water up to my waist. I ran back to the car to change socks and shoes and then (more carefully) continued on and got this photo. I was out for 3 hrs with wet legs and feet in -4 with a wind chill of -20.

 

I'm pleased the photo came out, makes it all the more worth while.
