Early Morning Trip to Glencoe

I had an early morning trip south to Glencoe today  I had the good fortune of being a little early for my 9 am meeting so popped up to Loch Achtriochtan to catch this shot of dawn rising in Glencoe.  The patchy light on the autumn coloured hills and the reflections of the light in the burn flowing out of the loch make this shot I think.

I also toook this shot of Achtriochtan Cottage, just off to the right in the above shot, takig in the spectacular hillside above with the waterfall.  I like this, although the light was not great, being mainly in the shade at this time of day.

Earlier on my way south I stopped at a car park by the A82, just north of Spean Bridge.  I had to try to capture these shots of the mist lying in the bottom of the glen as the sun was rising in the east and the moon was still visible in the west.
