Skywatch Friday - cloud on the Convals


I know, I know, that burning sun at the top right is BAD composition. But it was cold, so much colder than it usually is in Scotland in the winter, and fingers were frozen. I think they may have been my husband's, since I had my gloved hands firmly in my pockets and had given up on photos by this stage in our walk.

Catching up from December for this Skywatch. River Spey, and the Conval Hills. The water used to make Glenfiddich whisky rises from a spring in the Convals. Icy water, fiery spirit. Tho I think when we got back from our walk we had a nice cup of tea.

Other skies around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

  1. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving your lovely comment! It is much appreciated. And I don't mind the sun in the top corner. I think it adds to the whole effect. It's a lovely photo. I especially like the low-lying clouds in the mountains. :)

  2. Great scnery, Linda. That burning sun has a beautiful reflection in the water.
    It's right what you say in the comment: the living descendant Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia was born in Geneva in 1972 from Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia e Marina Doria.
    Happy weekend!

  3. I love the fog rolling over and around the hills. The water looks cold - and the sunlight accentuates it all.

  5. It is a beautiful picture, and it does look COLD! You could crop out the sun, right below it, horizontally. You'd keep the reflection of the sun on the water, which is quite lovely, but get rid of the glare caused by the bright sun. Just a suggestion ....

  8. A little sun spot isn't too bad. I love the way the low clouds are just above the trees. Many years ago I would visit Dunoon, Argyll on a US submarine. I have been there in the winter and know how your fingers could be cold. :)
    Thanks for sharing.

  14. don't believe everything you hear from stock photographers. I love the burning sun & it's related reflection on the water. (actually, all I noticed was the blue sky, the mountains, the spilling clouds, and the see). Wonderful capture - really!
