[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the distinctive mountain Stac Polly. It was quite dull when we climbed it, later in the evening as you can see it turned out a wonderful evening.

A distinctive steep-sided mountain of the Assynt district of Wester Ross, Stac Polly (Gael: Stac Pollaidh or 'peak of the pools') rises to 613m (2009 feet). Its summit lies on a craggy ridge. Easily accessible and popular with hill-walkers, not least for the spectacular views it provides of the surrounding area, Stac Polly lies 11 miles (17.5 km) north of Ullapool within the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve.

Hi Douglas,

It's about timing to get beautiful light as you capture this mountain here . .
Beautifully composed in vertical format showing surrounding . .
Lovely shot . .

hi douglas.
you manage to capture some very interesting places. i have never seen anything like this before. it looks like a crater from the moon, only this is covered in grass.
the sky is foreboding and moody, which i love.
you need to take me with you one day as i seem to be missing out on so much.

My heart.....Good grief Douglas...now can it be better than this??? Just amazing! I knew you would come back with some killer photos! I sure how you took your camera on that climb! Just amazing, ***drooling** on the computer screen! B-)

Hello Richie,
The green here is almostr iridescent in the evening light. Gorgeous lighting and detail in a very well composed shot. Well done!
TFS, Joni

Oh dear, what a gorgeous photo this is Douglas. I do like the vertical composition. It is sharp especially on the foreground, the colors look surreal and very attractive, lighting is exquisite. Danilo
