One benefit of hill fires is that you do get some nice smokey sunsets to photograph. Camera talk though, I really wish I'd had a tripod with me to bracket the shots. Even a little one I could have attached to a fence would have improved these photos a lot.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
That looks great thanks. I'm starting to suspect my computer screen isn't set up correctly as the photos look a lot darker on my phone. I need to look into how to adjust them to show things as they should be.

You've both achieved an optimistic level of green for the weather conditions. The reality is somewhat more jaded. Jaded couldn't be a more perfect word in this case actually.

Love your moon shots Alan. It must be very impressive 'in the flesh'. I love the little orchids scroggin. Not taken many this year, but I love seeing them when I'm out. It was so sunny I was struggling to get a good pic in Glen Douglas recently
Have you got a photo editor on your 'pooter, wild edges? It's amazing how much tinkering you can do... Great photos anyway though. Very atmospheric. Never quite got round to doing walk pix from last outing....here's a few from Mount Blair [2,450 feet ] at the border between Perthshire and Angus. A very easy hill with an ugly radio transmitter at the summit, but on a clear day, the views are fab.
North-ish to the Glenshee hills [left] and Lochnagar hills [right ] Closer view, the hills in the foreground include the Corbett [hills between 2,500 and 3,000 feet] Monamenach, much further along the glen
The two Glen Doll Munros - Mayar and Dreish
The new steel viewfinder on the shelter at the summit
Close up of a section showing the two biggest Crianlarich Munros - Ben More and Stob Binnein which are over 50miles away
There's a lovely inscription on the viewfinder too - from the 121st Psalm. ' I will lift up mine eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth ' I'm an atheist, but I found that very moving. Not so moving was the evidence that some lowlife moron had scratched out the word Lord. Words fail me.
View south - ish from the summit
A short day, but very enjoyable - especially seeing so many of the hills I've done over the years.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Gorgeous photos scroggin - terrific that you got that weather. Wasn't too rough for little doggy feet either Is that Helvellyn - which hills did you do? The poor old sheep/lambs are all struggling in the heat - at least those ones were catching a bit of shade It's a long time since I was there [used to holiday there quite often ] and wasn't really doing hills back then. I keep saying I should go, but I don't know when that'll happen!
You can see 40 Munros from Mount Blair when it's clear enough - it's a great viewpoint. It looks much nicer when seen from Ben Gulabin [further along the Glenshee road]
