Sunrise this morning on Ben Cleuch, Clackmannanshire, #Scotland. Only a hill really, but a predawn start and some snow brings a mountain feel.

Survivor. This solitary Scots pine on the hillside shows how much many upland areas in the British Isles have been depleted - and what they could be again.

A very Scottish winter view for #MountainMonday. Looking out from 'the Window' (a narrow pass between summits) at Creag Meagaidh in late winter / early spring a few years ago.

Looking down a glen from a mountain pass - snow in the foreground and snow patches and brown vegetation on the slopes in the distance. Blue sky mountain day.

1/3s exposure, straight from camera.
4-5 metre waterfall surrounded by autumn trees in a range of colours. Calm rather than dramatic.

Tree trunk with apparent eye and trunk amongst green undergrowth and canopy. Or an actual wild wood demon of course...

Ascending the north ridge of Garbh Bheinn on #Skye between squalls, a landscape shaped by fire and ice. A colour shot straight from the phone camera - genuinely this almost-monochrome at time of shooting. Late May #Scotland #mountaineering #MountainMonday #mountains #landscape #photography #scape
Dark grey rocks looking into a Corrie of scree and stone, under a grey-white sky. The only colour is the odd splash of dull green grass.
