Blue Gold Splendour
A wonderful old tree that sticks up like a tuning fork out of the peat hags and grassy tussocks that cover Rannoch moor.

Pentax 67II, 55-100 zoom, polariser, 0.3ND grad, Velvia. F22 at 1/2 sec.

very nice

The leading line twists you up the LHS corrie, the Higher ground on the RHS forcing you to do this, you then scan left into the next corrie and settle on the tree and again the higher ground on the RHS and the open forground holds you there...

works well..
