Glen Scaddle, the Ardgour Hills & Loch Linnhe

Again, it's not exactly a harmonious arrangement, but this revelation, as I made my way off Ben Nevis's summit plateau, demanded some attention.

The inclusion of that snowbound slope provides some context & hopefully a sense of feeling like you're actually there.

The image also conveys Nevis's unusual views: looking down on everything below, as you are higher by far, lending a 'viewed from an aircraft' effect - or 'Grand Canyon' effect whereby, despite being amongst mountains, the horizon is resolutely flat & unbroken.
