Ten years ago this month I took this photo from my bedroom window. The mountain is Ben Ledi and what amazed me was that every day it looked different. The mountain itself probably changed so slowly that it looked exactly the same one day after another but the light, the clouds, the mists…..they combined to create a brand new scene, not just daily, but every time I looked.
On this particular day, two things struck me. Firstly, the colour of the sky as the sun lit the clear area below the dark grey cloud. Secondly, the wisps of constantly changing mist, or low clouds, which slid along the surface of the mountain, closely following its slopes and curves.
One patch of mist, towards the right of this image, curled up towards the sky, circled around, and headed back down towards the Earth. It seemed to me I was watching mist become cloud, and cloud become mist.
Absolutely beautiful. Take a moment to enjoy the dance.
