A waterfall tumbles down a mountainside below a fording point on an access road. Grass and heather is growing here with a few stunted trees higher up the slopes.
Snow covers the upper slopes of the Ben Lawers range a little further to the north-west. Ben Chonzie to the left of shot also has a dusting. Skies are blue and the grass and heather are browns and yellows.
My walking buddy strides into the distance along an estate track with the Ben Lawers group ahead of him capped in snow. They are over 1,000 feet higher than the hill we were heading to.
A cairn catches the sun during a break in the clouds. The air temperature was just below freezing but a brisk wind made it feel much colder. Skies are blue and some snow-capped mountains are visible in the distance below gathering cloud.
I ventured into the hills yesterday for the first time in far too long. It was bright and dry but bitterly cold in the wind (around -13°C). We were heading to the top of Auchnafree Hill.
