The summit of Beinn a Bhuird by jamibann

The summit of Beinn a Bhuird

I have more dramatic images from yesterday's hill walk, but I liked the solitary aspect of this one. Hubby had stopped to remove a layer of clothing and I turned round to see him coming towards me on the summit. Beinn a Bhuird means Mountain of the Table. There is a vast table-top summit with about 2 km between the north and south tops. We walked to both because is was such a fantastic day, and in Scotland it is rare to experience time on the summit with very little wind. Usually you get off the summit as fast as you can! It ended up being a very long day - 10 hours on the mountain, and 38 km. A fish supper on the way home was our just reward. :-) Better viewed on black.
Ooh I like him skylined there! Bleak and wonderful. Unusual to have such a large flat summit. Sounds like a fantastic day.

What a landscape - glad you had little wind. This is fab on black.

Wow it looks so bleak! I am always blown away by your adventures! I wish I was half as fit as you two! Great image !

The solitary figure really emphasises the vastness and bleakness of the mountain table top. It sounds like a wonderful day’s experience.

Love the silhouetted person at the end

Wow you really feel the vastness with the lone figure way off in the distance

What a landscape & your hubby's lone figure there so small give perspective. Your adventures are amazing..

Wow he really finished this landscape beautifully

I love that it looks like a desert picture (but probably couldn't be further from it!)

The view on black highlights the lone figure on this open plane. What wonderful hikes you and Hubby have together. Sweet retirement!

how wonderful

That is a great capture...the silhouette of hubby there on the horizon.....that rather strange barren looking summit....what a long walk & no mention of your sciatica, dare you believe it’s gone?

So barren except for the solitary figure. Best viewed on black, without other distractions.

@happypat Well, it's certainly gone from what it was and I no longer need to take medication, but it's left me with a pain at the back of my calf muscle and a tight hamstring. I'm working on that though. I seriously hope it's gone for good - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!!

Great shot and use of silhouette person.
