Beinn Challum
When you've got late afternoon, winter light like this, even our less glamorous hills can suddenly stop you in your tracks.
Driving north on the A82, Beinn Challum appears as a giant featureless grassy lump, & doesn't exactly beckon the hillwalker on. Its best side is when viewed from Glen Lochay in the north-east, where it adopts the guise of an elegant cone positioned at the head of the glen. This photograph was taken from neighbouring Beinn Chaorach, which rather depressingly translates as 'Sheep Hill'. Beinn Challum is quite simply 'Malcolm's Hill'.
I'm afraid that a compulsion to include 'Castor & Pollux' , Ben More & Stob Binnein, dictated the final composition, & an arguably better one shelved, with the subject matter more to the right in that. Sometimes the urge to convey the scope of the outlook from a certain spot overrules photographic sensibilities.
