Took a trip to the highlands just before christmas, while I was back at home.
Have never been to the highlands in the snow since I started photography and its been something I've wanted to do for a while.
The visit didn't let me down and it was a joy to be in such a stunning place with decent weather. It got down to -11 at points (this no longer sounds as cold after the last few days!) but as there was not a breath of wind it was fairly comfortable (I was well wrapped up).
Makes me yearn for a decent 4x4 as there was a number of places I just couldn't park up and photograph due to the 'car parks' being under 8/9 inches of snow.
Anyhoo, hope you enjoy
