I've admired Glen Torridon for a while now for it's fabulous remote feeling and spectacular mountains. It is home to some of Scotland's most iconic mountains and the Torridonian sandstone that is the building block for these mountains enables them to show a unique ruggedness.

I managed to spend a brief day in the glen recently and attempted to capture the mountains in the late evening light that highlights them so well.

I've had in mind to photograph the Scafell range of hills from a high vantage point in Wasdale for quite a while now. The Scafells are quite a tricky group of hills to photograph from the Wasdale side as they are tucked away in a corner and obscured by the Screes from most views from Wastwater. I have visited the summit of Middle Fell on numerous occasions usually in running shorts as part of a fell race or training runs and had always admired the view across to the highest land in England.
On this particular day I was traveling home from work on the train and noticed that there was a good covering of snow and the clouds looked promising for a good sunset shot, once home I decided that I'd give the lofty heights of Middle Fell a try, you can see my attempts in the Mountains and Fells gallery or click on the image.

I recently spent a great weekend walking, climbing and photographing the Ben Cruachan ridge near Loch Awe in the Scottish West Highlands. The nine mile ridge starts at Dalmally on the shores of Loch Awe and traverse westward over the peaks of Stob Diamh and Drochaid Glhais before finishing on Ben Cruachan itself. Conditions were perfect for winter walking and the use of crampons and ice axe were essential for efficiency and safety. The weather was mostly in our favour with a slight breeze but with temperatures down to a minus 20 degrees windchill it was bracing to say the least.

I've decided to revamp and update my website which will mean larger images, a slideshow feature and easier ability to regularly add new images. Have a look around and I hope you enjoy the scenery.
