A Caledonian Magnitude - a photo on Flickriver

            A shot from last spring during one of my most enjoyable flights in Scotland, one that started in Glen Cannich and saw me exploring a swathe of Scotland's fine wilderness as far as Torridon. Here, I'm looking over to Richard Carter who I'd had my camera trained on for a few seconds before. Just as I was about to squeeze the shutter, I blinked and realised he'd dissappeared behind a whisp extending from that mass of cloud on the right. This is the shot I took as he reappeared in my view. I just love the scale of this scene, the two of us suspended above the vast moorland, 2 kilometres below us, while the clouds looks as though they are rounding on us, ready to consume us at any moment.

The shot looks down on the watershed between the Ling and Beauly rivers. Any water in the bottom-left corner of this shot ends up flowing in to Loch Long, near Eilan Donan Castle, and the rest drains in to the Moray First, past Beauly.
