This panoramic image showcases the peaks of Bidean nam Bian and the Three Sisters of Glen Coe at dawn, viewed from the top of Aonach Eagach. A cloud inversion in the valley below adds a unique, atmospheric touch. Perfect for spaces like living rooms, offices, or any area where you want to bring in a sense of natural beauty and depth.

Story From Behind The Lens

This image was taken from the summit of Aonach Eagach, offering a clear view of one of Scotland's most famous mountain ranges. The early morning light highlights the peaks of Bidean nam Bian, the highest mountain in Argyll, and the Three Sisters of Glen Coe, known for their steep, dramatic slopes. These mountains are part of the volcanic landscape that defines Glen Coe, a valley rich in both geological history and cultural significance.
When Jack decided to photograph this area of Glen Coe, he wanted to take Toivo with him, but the usual scramble route is unsuitable for dogs. After studying maps, he identified a route that would come up from the north, leading to the central Munro, Meall Dearg. This provided him with a flat area to camp, alongside a dog-friendly climb.
In this scene, the Three Sisters appear to descend into a cloud inversion, where low clouds fill the valley, creating a striking contrast with the rugged terrain. This cloud inversion gives the image a surreal quality, emphasising the depth and scale of the mountains. The shot was taken the morning after Jack had photographed the Aonach Eagach ridge at sunset, capturing two different but equally stunning aspects of Glen Coe’s landscape.
