The late rising sun gives sky and Loch Ness a warm glow on a snowy day, five days before Christmas, 2009.

            Commentary.

In December, in far northern latitudes, the sun is slow to rise above the surrounding hills.
As it does, the sky and clouds can reflect yellow and orange hues on to the surface of lakes like Loch Ness.
Vision can be deceived as freezing temperatures had seen
snowfall in the previous day and night.
The non-forested or timber-cleared patches of land on the south-shore hills show the snow vividly, but the trees only appear to show a vague sprinkling, through which, dark green pine needles still show.
Whatever colours spring, summer and autumn bring us,
and they are many, winter’s snowy transformation is
beguiling, fascinating and somewhat special.
