Photograph taken at an altitude of Two hundred and ninety nine metres at 10:32am on Friday 13th September 2013,off the A82 having just passed Lochan na h-Achlaise on our left, heading towards Fort William.
Now the landscape becomes more dramatic, foreboding, and here at Loch Ba in Bridge of Orchy, lies a vast and shallow irregular shaped loch to the South West of Glen Coe within Rannoch Moor in the Highlands of Scotland. It's a hauntingly beautiful, somehow stark and bleak yet mesmerizing location.
