On the return journey from last week’s trip to Mull, I was blown away by the autumn colours as we drove down the road. The whole journey was a feast of oranges, golds and reds. There wasn’t a chance to stop to take pictures, so I had a wee idea to take a trip back up that way on Sunday. I checked the weather forecast on Saturday evening – it was due to be still, with patches of mist in the morning. That looked perfect for some loch reflection photos.
So I headed back up the same road first thing in the morning. I was spoilt for choice with possible pictures! I headed back to Loch Lubhair near Crianlarich first. I haven’t had a chance to take photos there before, but have often noticed flashes of stunning loch reflections there, on trips home from Oban.
One thing I wasn’t too well prepared for was the conditions underfoot. I’d packed my walking boots, but would definitely have been better off in wellies, or maybe even waders!
The trees around the loch are just beginning to turn autumnal. The sun was darting in and out from behind the cloud, resulting in tantalising patches of sunlight on the lochs and hills. I was luck to catch this brief patch of light on the trees.
