Purple Rannoch

Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Scotland

It wasn't a promising morning, windblown sleety rain whistled across the moor and then settled down and the sky was heavy. I arrived an hour and a quarter before sunrise and in the purple of twilight recorded the cool blue light reflected in the water and on the distant peaks. For a while everything remained that colour and the hills simply silhouetted. However as the first fingers light melted through the sky so colour started to flow through parched veins and fill the land with true colour. When the two types of light were intertwined I took this shot to reveal the warmth of white light in a nest of twilight blue.

This is beautiful, particularly like the reflective opalescent sheen off the Loch and layering of the hills
