This must be the most photographed view in Scotland, partly because it is taken from the roadside of the A82 that runs across Rannoch Moor and partly because it is simply one of the best views in Scotland. I, like most photographers get drawn to great pictures taken by others and so it was when I saw this landscape adorning the pages of photographic magazines, long before I moved to Scotland. At that time it was too far to travel given the unpredictable weather of this part of Scotland and so I was happy(ish!) to enjoy the work of others who had managed to capture the wildness of this place so well. But now Rannoch Moor is a mere two hours drive away. Doable in a day. The lure got stronger. It was no good, I would just have to go and have a go myself. And so I did, and I wasn't disappointed and I even managed to take a few decent shots that I was pleased with. I have been back a couple of times since and no doubt I will go again. In fact I might even go this week after all the snow we have had on the tops. This kind of landscape is therapy for the soul so why not indulge myself?
