Lovely photograph. The rocks against the blue sky make a really interesting natural sculpture.

Between this wonderful post and moonysun's "Granit roc in Corsica" the urge to go rock-climbing is becoming overwhelming. Beautiful image here, marvelously photographed!

Oh wow, have only seen these birds in early autumn, never in their white clothings as you do! What a joy to see these ptarmigans, gorgeous work! :)

Nice birds, Anthony. I think I have only seen them once, and that only on TV, probably in a BBC nature programme. In addition, I was struck by the ugly rock troll face, permanently captured in the rock formation behind the twa lost birds. Looks like one of the MacStane family has just woken up, after a hard night on the 'hard stuff'. Whimsical regards, John.
