<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
<br />
Affric and the North-West glens are glorious in all seasons.<br />
But here, in autumn, near Affric Lodge the reds, yellows and oranges  of the lower slopes are resplendent when contrasted with the blues, purples and indigos of the high mountain slopes.<br />
Perhaps, some early snow, to cap the peaks, would complete<br />
the colour palette perfectly, but for now, the image is most acceptable.</p>
