Slime Every Mountain

The two intrepid little snails show no fear as they successfully negotiate the crux pitch on their ascent of Beinn na Seilcheag.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Stone'. Two small lichen-encrusted stones were set up to form a 'crevice' in between them. My original idea had been to have the two snails looking at each other from opposite sides of the crevice (the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene came to mind), but the snail on the left wouldn't cooperate and wanted to climb across! The set-up was placed in front of a photo from a Highlands calendar that provides the sky.

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
