Lots of detail here so uploaded LARGE..

Just occasionally the light in Scotland for an extremely short period of time is nothing less than insane. This was one such occasion and I found myself scrambling with my little Fuji XT1 and using nothing but instinctive composition to capture this shot which was at its absolute best for less than a minute, as golden light pierced heavy grey winter clouds and turned the Cuillins and Sgurr Nastri to burnished gold. Needless to say the transient light quickly evaporated but the small group I was leading witnessed something quite extraordinary. I always know cos the hairs on the back of my neck stand up like the quills on a porcupine. This one has the rare honour of making my top three dozen shots.
