<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
<br />
A place that always stops me in my tracks.<br />
A different day, a different season,<br />
different conditions.<br />
Such is Loch Garry.<br />
On this day the morning light turned the stony beach a vivid gold.<br />
The clear blue sky reflected in darker hues on the loch’s mirrored surface.<br />
The bottle-green, pine-covered, headland.<br />
The grey tones of low mist and clouds reflected perfectly <br />
and the snow-tinged, distant peaks beyond<br />
arrested my attention but freed my mind in a moment of bliss.</p>
