This was taken in early February during a visit to Loch Carron on the Scottish west coast specifically to get some landscape photographs of the area. The weather began to change and the clear skies had now filled up pretty well with clouds.
While there was still some good light I got this nice shot of the clouds reflected in Loch Carron from a viewpoint on a hill on the south side of the loch near Attadale. This was early in the morning, and although I stayed in the area for the rest of the day few other opportunities came my way.
However, as I usually do in these circumstances, I used the time to do reconnaissance for landscapes to be obtained the next time I was in this general area. It so happened that I found a really nice spot from which to take landscape photos of the Plockton area.
I didn't know it at the time, but when I next came down to take landscapes from that viewpoint I was to be presented with some of the North-west Highlands' most striking combinations of weather and light.
