Hi there, this picure was taken while descending Ben Lomond on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond a couple of days ago. It was taken just as we were walking back through the cloud which covered the upper levels and summit.

Loch Lomond has the largest surface area of fresh water Loch in the UK. The Loch is 24 miles long and five miles wide and at its deepest point is some 600 feet deep. On the Loch there are approximately 38 Islands, some of them inhabited and there is even a Hotel on one, Inchmurrin.

Loch Lomond must be the worlds most famous Loch and has been much written about, both in song and verse. The area is renowned for its beauty and tranquility and offers picture postcard views around every corner.

The Loch is crossed by the Highland Boundary Fault and exhibits the physical characteristics of both highland and Lowland Scotland. Some 200 species of birds and over 25% of Britain's wild plants have been recorded in the area.

I've added a fair bit of contrast to bring out the suns rays making the picture look darker and later than it actually was.

Hope you like the picture, thanks for viewing!
