Image Details
Viewed from the western shore of Loch Maree, Slioch completely dominates this scene. There is a section of road just south of the Bridge of Grudie where the road turns sharply due east, heading straight for the shores of Loch Maree, and to Slioch. As you drive this stretch of road Slioch seems to grow immensely, completely filling your field of view, and it never ceases to impress me no matter how often I repeat the journey.
To get this particular view I left the car and walked down to the shore, the little peninsula of Scots pines adding some foreground interest and colour. As is usual I waited some time until nice light and shade came along to enliven the scene. This view was shot in March, we still had snow and the grasses and bracken were still in their winter colours, which I personally prefer to the greens of summer.
