Snow in Scotland Photo

Photographer’s Note

I had a day off on Monday and had a lovely drive through Southern Scotland. The roads were, in places, quite slippery with snow but I drove slowly taking in all the beauty around. This picture was taken a few miles north of Moffat, just after passing the Devil's Beef Tub.

Unfortunately, the Map:[view] is not very good here.

I liked the bright sun on the snow and the foreboding sky ahead.

Shot in RAW using a polarising filter and converted and edited in PSE6.

A truly beautiful shot John - it has all the crispness of the day itself - one of those images which one can place oneself in - I can feel the snow crunching and wet beneath my feet - good colour too!
