The first light of the morning catching the overnight mist and a little ice on the lochan...the remnants of the snow still visible on the Blackmount Ridge...the secret to catch the hoar frost just as the light comes over the mountains before the sun quickly melts the crystals of ice clearly visible on the trees.
A merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year.

Very beautiful Doug as always - is it me or does it need a slight anti-clockwise tilt? Probably just me
Oh Doug, beautiful photograph as always.
Happy Christmas wishes to you and Louise.

An excellent mood you have captured Doug..Lovely image and all the very best to you for the season.
Tom.
Many thanks folks for all your positive comments...hoping for these conditions in the next two weeks as I am on holiday.
Doug.
An exceptional capture Douglas. Thanks for your inspiration over the year, have a lovely christmas.
Dave
I like your strategy about catching the frost. I guess you don't get much time, so you have to be ready before the sun rises. So this was very well planned. Have a great Christmas and new year. And since you have so much time off, you'll probably have a whole stack of new work to show us in the new year. I definitely look forward to that!
It is interesting how the mountians in back are bare while all the white is down below. I guess it is an inversion layer. Have you noticed less snow and cold in the past decade or so? It seems as though global warming my be hitting up there.
Patrick
This is a masterpiece Doug, If I ever manage to get landscape shots like this I'll be a happy man.
The detail and atmosphere in this shot are something very special. What a shot, If you dont have an upload before christmas well have a good Christmas and New year.
Scott
Even my best efforts couldn't emulate the above remarks. Masterpiece is an accurate description.
Stunning capture.
Lovely composition.
Like so much the colours and reflections. And like a lot the mist detail.
Fantastic work, as always 
Noe
Many thanks everyone for all your positive comments will speak to you this evening as its a busy week where we have to get in as much money as possible, then we all can relax for a fortnight, YIPPEE!!!
Doug.

truly poetical, Outstanding
Nikki
LOL - It seems like you could rack in the money by selling these!
Patrick
A stunning scene, love the capture of mist and the reflections
Hello Doug. No I haven`t been climbing Ben Nevis and got lost! just been a little busy these past few weeks and just not had the eyes for the computer lol.
I`ll endeavour to catch up with pics i`ve missed over the holidays.
Another terrific composition Doug, as always and I do recognise this place.
May you and Louise have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.
Chris
Wonderful dream-like image Douglas, just so good to look at, very fine work, Adrian
I must say Doug what stamina you must have to get up even before dawn most days so that you arrive just as the sun is coming up to photograph these exquisite scenes . Love the frost on everything . Absolutely lovely xx
Thanks for the E card . Have a great and wonderful Christmas and a Guid New Year xxx
Beautiful photo, as always Doug, when do you sleep?
Cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your looking and commenting on my efforts. A very Merry Christmas to you and Louise and my best wishes to you in 2007. hope the health remains good.
Regards, Jim
Missed this one somehow! Beautiful work - have a Happy Xmas and a fine New Year. All the best. Bruce
Hi Doug,
What a great seasonal image.
A very Happy Christmas to you and yours and many thanks for all you support this year.
May 2007 bring you all that you wish and more.
Mike
Have a superb Christmas Doug and a fantastic New year...for you and yours...
Don
Stunning work as always Doug!!
Happy New Year to you all.
Fran
Stunning shot, just beautiful. Love the muted tones, light and colour. Gorgeous!
Tracy
Hey Doug, I hope you and Louise are doing well up there. You are conspicuous in your absence! You may get some icy stuff pretty soon, if it is not there already.
Patrick
Obviously excellent timing as well as photography. I never imagined hoar frost could be so dominating, I guess it is "lake effect" frost. A true photograph.

Many thanks everyone for all your kind comments...I am fine and enjoying my photography as much as ever...I have not been posting of late and miss the fun of the ePz site but daily like to admire all your images...should things get less busy in the near future I will resume my activities on the site, in the meantime please be assured of my appreciation for all the help and interest shown in my work.
Doug.
Farewell Doug - hope your final journey is full of such wonderous sights. Bruce
Thanks John I will update Doug's portfolio details but leave on his photographs as a memorial to him.
Louise
I haven't been around for a year or so, so I'd just like to say I wish you all the very best, Louise.
Doug, your last comment to me after I'd temporarily left this site was "Missing your work". I'd now like to return the favour and say:
I will always miss your work, Doug. You're my favourite photographer on here. I hope wherever you are, you are proud of what you achieved. You live on through these beautiful pictures.
It's very professional, fantastic composition, superb lighting!
WOW, what an amazing shot, stunning mood and the composition is amazing.
WOW.
Scott
Thank you Scott, so glad you liked Doug's photograph of the moor, there was an amazing atmosphere that day.
Louise
I am going up to the moor on Saturday Rich as it will be almost 3 years since Doug died, yes he never went anywhere without his wellies, the moor holds lots of memories for me, friends we met and photos that we took.
Thanks for looking in on Doug's gallery.
Louise
Have just come across this gallery and am so sad to have not been around on site when Doug was active. I am so glad you have left his gallery intact for others to savour and enjoy, Louise. I will get so much pleasure and inspiration from viewing his work.
Ronnie.
