The Buachaille Etive Mor in Winter

The Buachaille Etive Mor in full winter raiment from the banks of the River Etive.

On this cold February morning, a cold front had passed overnight and a small ridge of high pressure promised a window of fine weather before the next atlantic system was scheduled to move in. In the cold pre-dawn small strips of cloud moved across the summits from east to west – occasionally lying on the mountains but never totally obscuring them from view.
