Buchaille Etive Mor By Moonlight - a photo on Flickriver

            The lowest, bright star to the right of the summit of the Buchaille is in fact Mars. It looked obviously red to the naked eye. I'd camped lower down the ridge of Beinn a'Chrulaiste at the 639m point Stob a'Chrulaiste to get a good angle on the steep, rocky profile of Buchaille Etive Mor at sunset and sunrise. Once the sun had gone down I dozed and snacked in the tent from c6pm till 9pm then geared up and set off the final 1.5km/700' to the summit in the dark- taking photographs all the way! Although I could see by the light the moon was up I remained in the shadow of my hill until I got to the very summit. It was cold and the wind was bitter but I was wrapped up warmly and only my hands suffered when I had to take my overmittens off to fiddle with the camera controls. There was a light fall of snow on the very top which twinkled pleasingly in the moonlight. I lingered till about 11pm then headed back to my tent- still taking photos. I turned in at midnight.
