April 2003. Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve. The sun burned off the low cloud and mist but not before we stumbled (almost) into this little toad on the footpath in Coire Dubh, west of Kinlochewe between Liathach and Beinn Eighe. | |
|
This is the footpath further on, having turned right at the cairn-marked fork in the path. Up ahead can be seen the waterfall at the rim of the Loch, and beyond that, the misty bulk of Ruadh-stac Mor 1010M high. | |
|
The view over the lip of the waterfall seen from the back. There are stepping stones across the source of the burn Alt Coire Mhic Fhearchair. This is the only viable way to go on because of the scree at the west side of the loch. | |
|
And this is the scree referred to above, photographed across the glassy calm of the loch. Just imagine the ripples if a rock avalanche occurred, caused by a careless footstep! | |
|
A wide-angle view of the mirror surfaced crystal clear waters, looking west past Sail Mhor towards Beinn Dearg in the distance. | |
|
Zoomed in on Carn na Feola and Stuc Loch na Cabhaig reflected in the loch's surface. Both peaks are part of Beinn Dearg. | |
|
The lingering mist, rays of sunshine and patches of snow emphasise the dramatic nature of these ancient mountains. |
