    Loch Duich and Sgurr na Carnach from Sgurr na Ciste Duibh.

10pm, 04/09/93

~ A 20 minute exposure on a mountain top, with a flimsy tripod and a lately-risen gibbous moon. Getting my excuses in early.

I think most of the lights on the lochside are car headlights, though that must be Ratagan gleaming brightly on the left. The clusters on the horizon -  now, it seems unlikely, and I'm not entirely sure I believe it myself,  but they do appear to line up with Tarbert (Harris) and Stornoway, 75-80 miles  distant.

~ Mullach Fraoch-choire and a shrouded Glen Affric.

It took a few goes to get my position just right. In one, I stood a little too high, and the sun appeared to be shining  from somewhere it doesn't normally shine from.
