April Squares: Ben Lomond
Today’s “top of the world” shot is another from 2005, this time taken on the summit of Ben Lomond. Looking at it, you would think it was summer. However, it was taken in March, just two weekends after yesterday’s post where I am wrapped up warmly against the wind.
You might also think that John has caught me in a moment of quiet solitude. However, here’s the same scene from a different angle (deliberately not squared):
It was very busy! Linked to Becky’s #SquareTops challenge.

Perspective makes such a difference in life, even in photos!

It’s all about perspective. I love that first shot; the views are so beautiful and you look very contemplative. Contemplating shouting at all the noisy folk behind you to shut up perhaps?

Possibly contemplating how exhausted I am! I’ve had time to put my smile back on in the second one.

Funny how a different perspective changes things!

Yes, changes the view completely!

I would have thought you had the mountain all to yourselves if you hadn’t included the second photo. Even so, the crowd doesn’t take away from the stunning views.

It looks that way! I don’t think we could get near the actual summit so had to perch on the end.

When I was doing Munros years ago we met a guy from Dingwall who thought that was the best one he’d been up yet. To him that was the far south and he was delighted to see Loch Lomond and the islands for the first time. Said it was his favourite viewpoint in over a hundred summits.

Another perspective! To us, it’s so near it’s the only Munro we’ve done several times. We don’t seek them out and don’t do them at all now.

Two great photogrphs of a stunning view (but still too high for me).

Too high for me too these days – not because of the height itself, but the strain of getting there.
