I took this shot over 6 years ago and uploaded it (or one similar) at the time but was reminded of it this week and decided to have a go at reprocessing it.
It was taken with what was probably my least favourite of the Olympus cameras I have owned but I really like the image even though there are some things I would do differently if I could take it again today.
This is Athnamulloch Bothy at the far end of Loch Affric.

The Peace Monument also known as the Friendship Monument or the Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument at the Jvari Pass in Georgia is a striking structure erected in 1983 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Georgian-Russian Treaty of Georgievsk 1783. This treaty marked the beginning of a closer political and military alliance between the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti (in present-day Georgia) and the Russian Empire. Its purpose was to protect Georgia from invasions by hostile powers. The monument is built in the form of a semicircular stone structure and is located at a panoramic point along the Jvari Pass, a mountain pass on the Georgian Military Road. This area is located in the Caucasus Mountains and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The monument consists of colorful mosaics depicting scenes from Georgian history and culture, as well as the theme of peace and unity. Although the monument was intended as a symbol of friendship between Georgia and Russia, it has attracted controversy in later years due to the complex historical and political relations between the two countries, particularly after Georgia's independence in 1991 and subsequent conflicts. Today, it is seen more as a tourist attraction than a political symbol. The monument is a popular stop for travelers exploring the Georgian Military Road due to its impressive views and historical significance.
A journey from Ananuri Fort through the Jvari Pass is one of the most impressive experiences you can have in Georgia. The contrast between the colorful autumn landscapes, the sudden snow-capped mountains, and the heavy mist is breathtaking and feels almost magical. The journey begins with the warm colors of autumn surrounding the historic Ananuri Fort. As you continue along the Georgian Military Road, nature slowly begins to change. The colorful forests gradually make way for bare mountain slopes, and the fresh mountain air becomes more noticeable. As you get closer to the Jvari Pass, the first signs of snow begin to appear. The peaks of the mountains seem sprinkled with sugar, and the temperature drops noticeably. As you ascend further, heavy mist starts to envelop the surroundings. The visibility becomes limited, and the world feels suddenly isolated and mysterious. Upon reaching the Jvari Pass, you arrive at the Peace Monument, where the mist hangs like a thin veil over the landscape. The colorful mosaics of the monument contrast beautifully with the white snow and the gray fog. The view from here, though partially obscured, is stunningly serene. The snow-capped peaks, frozen rivers, and icy air create an almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Het Peace Monument ook bekend als het Friendship Monument of het Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument bij de Jvari-pas in Georgië is een opvallend bouwwerk dat in 1983 werd opgericht om het 200-jarige jubileum van het Georgisch-Russische Verdrag van Georgievsk 1783 te herdenken. Dit verdrag markeerde het begin van een nauwere politieke en militaire alliantie tussen het Koninkrijk Kartli-Kachetië (in het huidige Georgië) en het Russische Rijk. Het doel was om Georgië te beschermen tegen invallen van vijandige mogendheden. Het monument is gebouwd in de vorm van een halfronde stenen structuur en bevindt zich op een panoramisch punt langs de Jvari-pas, een bergpas op de Georgische Militaire Weg. Dit gebied ligt in het Kaukasusgebergte en biedt spectaculaire uitzichten op de omliggende bergen en valleien. Het monument bestaat uit kleurrijke mozaïeken die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en cultuur uitbeelden, evenals het thema van vrede en eenheid. Hoewel het monument bedoeld was als symbool van vriendschap tussen Georgië en Rusland, heeft het in latere jaren controverse opgeroepen vanwege de complexe historische en politieke relaties tussen de twee landen, met name na de onafhankelijkheid van Georgië in 1991 en de daaropvolgende conflicten. Tegenwoordig wordt het meer gezien als een toeristische trekpleister dan als een politiek symbool. Het monument is een populaire stop voor reizigers die de Georgische Militaire Weg verkennen vanwege het indrukwekkende uitzicht en de historische betekenis. Een reis van Ananuri Fort door de Jvari Pass is één van de meest indrukwekkende ervaringen die je in Georgië kunt hebben. Het contrast tussen de kleurrijke herfstlandschappen, de plotseling met sneeuw bedekte bergen en de zware mist is adembenemend en voelt bijna magisch.
Having missed the opportunity to photograph some of the dramatic hail/snow showers of recent days, I had to settle for this little outburst over Belfast!
Haven't been out in the snow as much as I'd have liked this year but thoroughly enjoyed it when I could.
We've had bumper levels of snow but it's been very short lived. I was lucky enough to get out on this such day. The snow doing a great job of simplifying a scene down to just the bare essentials.

Thunderstorm activity over Adelaide River in the NT build-up to the Wet Season, ten years ago in 2013!
Viewed from Elizabeth River in Archer NT Australia.
Cruising into Bear Trap at the restricted 30 MPH U719 barley misses the sun as an isolated thunderstorm was building to the west. Road construction towards Culver Township ended the chase as they got pretty far ahead.
A walk along a very empty Northumberland beach, it was wet and cold the dog and us loved it .I had my mini tripod with me and that came in useful to focus on the lone Sea shell and and de focus the rest of the beach. I do enjoy isolating a subject such as this .
It surprises me how many images from our Northumberland trip that I have not edited and posted, so while I have been somewhat stuck inside decorating and not had any camera time I can show a few more interspersed with more local recent images .
Finished my painting today just the clearing up to do now but the weather looks grim for the next few days .

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
The Church of the Assumption on Bled Island and it's surroundings.
Bled is an Alpine town alongside glacial Lake Bled in northwestern Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Bled. It is most notable as a popular tourist destination in the Upper Carniola region and in Slovenia as whole, attracting visitors from abroad, as well.
The famous Lone tree on the edges of Llyn Padarn. Photographed by many and thankfully on the day that i captured this image, no one was about.
The small community of Gimingham, north Norfolk uk.
Traveling to Cromer two weeks ago, I stopped off to take a snap of this little isolated community on a bright early spring day.

Fortunately, Gail and I spend all of our leisure time together, usually doing something like what we did today, photographing something. Today’s Coronavirus Day trip, one of my favorites, Cape May Fishing Fleet. Not as busy as usual
Isolated deep in the desert of the South Western frontier, a gang of tough outlaws have established themselves in an abandoned tower. The height of the tower allows them a commanding view of all approaches.

As we move from social distancing to staying home to self-isolation we must remember that there is always hope especially as we direct our thoughts, concerns, and actions outward.
Hiking above Luz St Sauveur, in the French Pyrenees, early in the morning, the first light stroke this sheepfold. I liked the resulting isolated feeling.
As often, I had shot backlit, and needed postprocessing (with the darktable software) to restore contrast. My efforts focused on make the sheep pen stand out. For this, I increased contrast close to it, and decreased contrast far from it.
Specifically, I used equalizer filters with clarity preset on the house, and with bloom preset in the right of the picture. I used a bloom filter on the illuminated grass in the front right and a tone curve on the tree above the house to make it stand out. I used color correction to make the highlight more green. Finally, I used a small amount of soften filter in the bottom of the image, to give less importance to the trees.
October 2020 and the very first visit to the Lakes this year due to you know what...
It was so good to get back up here again as I've really missed it, the Autumn colours are just starting to turn and even though it poured down for a large part of the day it didn't matter.
This was our first stop off point on this day and the water levels in the lake were absolutely perfect for this, the last time I came here you couldn't even see the old jetty beneath the water, the timing on this was really lucky too as pretty much as soon as I had got this shot it started to rain...
Huge thanks to Mike Tonge too for letting me borrow his cable release to get this portrait version, seeing as mine was playing up, that's now been whizzed into the bin...
Anyway, great to be back, and a couple more images to come.
The new little boathouse on the opposite side of the water is a welcome new feature.
