Dumgoyne

The Photograph

Dumgoyne

Hasselblad X2D 45mm

The diminutive Dumgoyne may lack the stature of Scotland's higher mountains, but it certainly doesn't lack character. Its distinctive profile has long made it one of the most recognisable hills at the southern edge of the Highlands. What held my attention this evening was the pool of sunlight drifting slowly across the landscape behind the hill. I watched it for several minutes as it moved beneath the broken cloud, quite mesmerised by the changing scene. This time I wasn't alone. Three people stood on the summit of Dumgoyne, silhouetted against the sky, seemingly just as transfixed by it as I was.
