Waiting on the summit of Sgorr nam Fiannaidh in typically transient Scottish mountain weather. The sky was busy with snow-bearing clouds being relentlessly pushed along on a strong northerly wind, as one front departs another would soon approach. In between are momentary windows where the light can penetrate, allowing the possibility for some real magic. I watched intently waiting for the right balance of light and shade — things were happening quickly and I managed just two frames before this moment passed and I was, once again, engulfed in cloud.
