Lochnagar at sunrise.

Lochnagar at sunrise.
Taken at 05:15 (not the indicated 06:15) from our cottage.The pyrimid is actually a memorial to Prince Albert from Queen Victoria within the private grounds of Balmoral.

Lochnagar (1155m) or Beinn Chìochan, located about five miles south of the River Dee near Balmoral, is one of the most celebrated of the Munros*; a pointed summit rising high above one of Scotland's most beautiful corries. It was featured in a poem by Lord Byron, ending with the following lines:
England thy beauties are tame and domestic
To one who has roved on the mountains afar
Oh! For the crags that are wild and magestic
The steep frowning glories of dark Lochnagar.

* Munro: defined as a mountain in Scotland with a height over 3,000 feet, and which is on the Scottish Mountaineering Club official list of 227 Munros.

As ever - best vied full screen. PiP = flight around the summit via my Flight Sim

An absolute beauty in first light! The corrie shows up so well you can imagine the glacier which must have once filled it.
