UK - Scotland - Awakening of Pyramid Mountain - The Buchaille Etive Mor
Glen Coe is the most famous and perhaps most impressively dramatic of all Scottish glens (valleys), the perfect scenic match for its dark history of the massacre of the Macdonalds. For keen walkers, this is a true Mecca, epitomised by the famous pyramid of Buachaille Etive Mor, the guardian at the entrance to the glen. The highest peak is the great multi-summited massif of Bidean nam Bian whose three great buttresses rise impressively above the road and are known as the 'Three Sisters', whereas the north wall of the glen is the turreted and notorious ridge of the Aonach Eagach. Just to the south is the much quieter and secluded Glen Etive, with its own ranges of impressive mountains.
If you plan your trip well, this might be the view that you’ll have nearly out of your window. Kings House Hotel is one of those amazing places you can stay and practice your photography as soon as you step out of the door. I have purposely booked 2 nights there and could not be happier with the results (and all that “extra” sleep I got, while not needing to drive far as you shoot till 11.30PM and should start at 4AM if the strong will gets you out of the bed). Note that during summer time, you need to book way ahead of your trip as it is extremely popular place, especially with walkers.
Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Lens’s focal length: 17.00 - 40.00 mm, Photo Focal length: 24.00 mm, Aperture: 5.6, Exposure time: 1/80 s, ISO: 125
