An Teallach from Beinn Dearg Mòr

Hasselblad X2D 28mm

An Teallach seen from the magnificent summit of Beinn Dearg Mòr. Whichever way you approach this mountain, it's a long way in, but the view from the top more than repays the effort. Seeing An Teallach from this side gives a very different perspective on the mountain, with the full scale and complexity of its ridges laid out across the horizon. I spent several hours on the summit, yet somehow the time passed remarkably quickly. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, but for around half an hour I watched two golden eagles sweeping along the ridges and flanks below. They turned out to be the only other living souls I encountered all day.
