Temperature inversion looking towards the Trossachs from a few years ago. Scotland.

We've had hardly any winter temperature inversions this winter because of the relentless cloud and rain so here's an image from a few years ago of a notable one.

A clear view to the Trossachs, Scotland, February, 2026

The view to the Trossachs on what appears to be the only clear day we will have in February, 2026. Just a reminder all my images are genuine and are not ai in any form and the vast majority of my images are taken within 20 miles of where I live.

Loch Lomond light. Another of this months award winning images of mine, I particularly liked how the colour palette turned out with the low sun lighting this scene.

Stirling view. Another award winning image from this month and a very pleasant surprise with this image as I was trying out my new (to me) 100 - 400mm lens at 400mm and it was already of a good standard enough to win an award.

Stirling Castle & the Wallace monument in the shadow of the Ochills. Shot at 400mm on my new (to me) 100 - 400mm lens last week created a viewpoint where the city of Stirling is completely absent from the image.

Thanks, the "icing on the cake" was the white colouration on that closest coo.

Sunset over the Arrochar Alps and Loch Lomond from last Autumn. Only taken 5 months ago, it now seems a world away from todays realities, certainly with current weather trends and temperatures. A reminder that most things will pass but somethings remain constant.

The view to Ben Ledi. The presence of the cattle at the tree in the foreground with dappled light left me in mind of a classical type of painting so I did my best to create such a scene with this image. Do you think I achieved that look?

Shower over Loch Lomond. The weather for the last few weeks has been pretty poor for landscape photography, as well as flat light, the heavy cloud has been relentless, meaning images like this of breaks in the clouds have been very few and far between.

Loch Lomond light in mono. I thought the contrast in this scene would translate well with mono processing and I think it worked well.Β
