Storm Clouds over Sgùrr nan Gillean from Glen Sligachan

Sgùrr nan Gillean (*English - peak of the boys or young men) is a mountain in the northern section of the Cuillin range on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. With a height of 966.1 m (3170 feet) it is one of eleven Munros on the Cuillin ridge. It is the **Munro closest to Sligachan, and its impressive triangular profile is visible behind the Sligachan hotel, making it perhaps the most recognised peak in the Cuillin range.

*Another translation found is - peak of the gullies.

**Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet high

As shown in this superb shot, it is often the 'not so good' weather that gives the most amazing pictures Doug! The contrast of the richly coloured foreground against the misty mountain peaks and threatening sky is so beautiful!

What a magnificent capture , Doug!
I So much impressed by t this atmosphere where the threatening clouds let us filter a sort of magical light so as to let us enjoy the tones of ocher and dark grey in the foreground slowly in dissolving in the mist towards the imposing peak.

Terrific shot Doug, I love those little highlights of what looks like snow.

Thanks for your kind comment Maurice. It is understandable that you take it to be snow, but it is in fact reflection off water on rock after a recent rain shower.
