A Glencoe icon, really. The light and snow on the mountain was gorgeous. I even got a tour of the inside from the folks that were staying there!

Orange and blue, Loch Awe
A beautiful winters dawn at Kilchurn Castle. Perfect reflections were complemented by gorgeous early morning light on the hills. I did have to wait for a flock of ducks to swim out of the frame though!
Perfect winter cottage
I can't think of a more perfect location for a highland cottage, especially in winter. Glencoe at its best.
The unpronounceable loch (unless you're Scottish)
Well not really. But it does help if you can swirl the word Achtriochtan round the back of your throat and spit it out. Winter in Glencoe, in case you're wondering.
Sugar coated Glencoe
A lovely curve of road running through Glencoe in Winter
Red and green aurora, Vestrahorn
Lovely to see some red and green aurora together at Vestrahorn. Often the green dominates but on this occasion the red comes through nicely.

Scott of the arctic
I loved these frozen falls near Kirkjufell on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. When a fellow photographer (Scott) wandered into the scene it was the perfect focal point, adding scale and interest.
Snowstorm
My fingers were absolutely frozen photographing this scene. The wind was howling, a blizzard quickly developed, so it was time to get the camera out!
