Red Ridge
This is Suilven in the Assynt area of NW Scotland. It is fairly remote for Scottish standards and requires a couple of hours walking from any direction before you reach the base of it. I took advantage of a wild camp in my wee tent to get some sunset shots from the top then captured this image the next morning as I was returning to my car.
It comprises of two peaks along the ridge that you see and the views from it are some of the best in all of the UK, I was blessed with a fabulous sunset and a memory that will last long with me. I would recommend a climb of this beautiful small mountain to anyone.

There is an account of my recent trip here:

Great capture, John !
Good comp. and also contrast between the illuminated rock and the middle ground in shadow and again the illuminated rock as a reflection.
I hope you understand what I mean above here ;-))

Congrats !

perfect light and nice composition John, love the reflection and scenery,compliments
John Parminter  Perhaps not perfect light Peter, its a little too strong on the rocks as it is 20 minutes after sunrise but I had to wait for the wind to die down for long enough to get a smooth reflection, all in all though not a bad compromise I feel, cheers,

Thats a new angle John on one of your fav mountains i feel of The Stac
John Parminter  Aha, I deceive you Tony, it is Suilvan, a close neighbour of Stac Pollaidh in the wonderful Assynt and Inverpolly area. Cheers,
JP
Tony D  Not only magic with Light then John, well done anyway. i got to get back up that way some day, not been for about 6 or 7 years and its a great area.
John Parminter  err Suilven not Suilvan...durr

Great one John

Congrats
John Parminter  See how deceptive I have had to become Fabien... cheers

Did you "runaway" Uluru from down under John :)) ... great, i like it!
John Parminter  Arr but this is the original one Dare, some of the oldest rocks on earth are found in this area, the ozzy one is merely an interloper..... :-))
