It is very hard to pass by this cottage on the moor without taking yet another photograph.
This is the first time I have managed to capture the setting in Winter conditions.

Another excellent version of this location Louise. I am planning to come up there the week after next - is that being too ambitious with the weather or are most of the Rannock/Glencoe locations accessible?

Looks like a great day to me, Louise. Wonderful winter scene which you've captured very well. I'm sure you and Doug are too good friends to feel any rivalry but it seems that each time one of you posts a wonderful shot the other goes one better! Keep it up 'cos its us viewers that benefit.
