Stob Dearg

One of the most photographed mountains in Scotland is the first large mountain you see whilst driving towards Glencoe - it’s like a guardian of the valley trying to keep all impostors away. Stob Dearg, is the northern peak of Buachaille Etive Mor and is seen here from the coupall river.

I had to quickly capture this one as I found a safe place to park the car on that dangerous road that runs through this valley. I noticed this little still pool in the foreground revealing the rocks underneath by using my polarizing filter and my Grey Grad filters to help control the intensity of the sunset.
