My first run for a while. It's been bright recently but too cold for comfort. However today was tolerably mild and I took a run to the Trossachs - an area of the Highlands just north of Glasgow.

What a stunning scenery, especially the reflections look beautiful. I would have expected snow caps on the mountains and crappy weather this time of the year, thanks for showing me otherwise.
ReplyDeleteIt has been cool but dry recently so no snow. We do get a lot of crappy weather but because it's changeable we also get the odd nice day. As you say the calm conditions produced some lovely reflections.
DeleteWow, so beautiful. Those reflections are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see the clear cut logging around Loch Achray. Reminds me of what we see here.
This is a National Park so it does seem strange to see this. From the Forest Commission's website I think that this is part of a scheme to remove non-native species that were planted as commercial crops and restore native woodland.
