Snowy Peaks (Scotland 2013)

The last full day on the Isle of Harris was a wonderfully bright blue sky day. A dusting of snow had fallen overnight on the North Harris Hills which became the natural focal point for many of the landscapes. These were the scenes at 6am in morning including two newly discovered panorama looking across to Luskentyre and then some long lens captures of the snowy peaks:

Later we moved to Rosamol Beach for a closer view of the hills. The first image below is the stand out image for me due to the lead in sand patterns and also I particularly enjoyed the second image with the snow covered peaks partially reflected in the wet sand:

Looking back, it was a fabulous final day on Harris with the photography continuing until after sunset. This included a visit to the Harris Tweed shop in Tarbert, a look at a peat cutting site, and more landscapes at Scarista....too much photography to comfortably fit into one post so I will divide up the day into the subject areas and post the results separately.
