Et la lumière fut - The unexpected and incredible outcome of another memorable dawn spent on the shore of Loch Awe a couple of autumns ago.

Having arrived lochside some 20 minutes before dawn, conditions looked far from inspiring to say the least. Light was dull, grey and dismal and the breeze that was gently but persistently blowing wrecked any hope of reflections off the water. I was inclined to give up and head back for an early hearty breakfast. Luckily for me I didn't; persisting in the faint hope that a miracle might happen.

And then there was light.

Well the miracle did happen for a brief few minutes not long after sunrise. The most intense light of dawn broke through the clouds, perfectly striking the beautiful ruins of Kilchurn Castle just as the surface of the loch turned still enough to yield some excellent reflections of the castle. It all came together long enough for me to capture this memorable and remarkable sight.

A wonderful and inspiring sight at any time, especially so when conditions are as unique and superb as this.
