Raining Cats and Dogs

Strathfarrar, Highland, Scotland

I confess I’m rather pleased with this. On the face of it I got a totally typical torrential autumnal Scottish soaking. Yet the light was phenomenal, even if that light didn’t last for much longer that the shutter speed I chose to capture it with. Backlit rain and Scots Pine intermingled with golden Birch on a shadowed hillside. 1/60 second turned the rain into glittering hair like strands. I reckon I could feel those hair like strands standing bolt upright on the back of my neck, I was that thrilled.
