West from A' Mhaighdean

The Great Wilderness, Scotland

In the course of photographing The Great Wilderness I placed a particular focus on A' Mhaighdean and summitted 8 times, with 6 summit camps. This was one of the most sublime moments I have ever witnessed in the Scottish Highlands. As the sun came down, the temperature dropped below the dewpoint, and a sea of clouds formed around the mountains. This particular frame was one of many that I captured, but it was the standout thanks to the wave of cloud to the bottom left that elevates this extraordinary scene even further.
