Winter Loch Eilein

Loch An Eilein, Cairngorm, Scotland

It was a very fine winter morning, breathlessly still and significantly below zero. Loch An Eilein had frozen across most of its surface save for the outflow of a small stream which dropped over a ledge and where one or two Scots pine branches had snagged with a glaze of ice forming across it. I waited almost two hours for the light to get high enough to backlight the twin pines and then used the snared snag as a pointer toward the trees.

NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses and fine art cards are now available at TRANSIENT LIGHT

Very nice Ian really like the forground detail, with the break from the perfect flat still sheen to the detail in the water as it breaks over.
