Cul Beag Winter Sunrise
Inverpolly National Nature Reserve, Assynt, Scotland
One of the challenges of winter landscape photography is keeping your hands warm as you take photos. My new, thick gloves had kept my fingers toasty warm on the climb up, perhaps a bit too warm. The inside lining was now soaked in perspiration, which was rapidly freezing. I had to resort to a thin backup pair, which meant an uncomfortable day ahead. At least the snow covered mountain view warmed my heart.
