Jack captured this stunning sunrise in August 2022 from the summit of Beinn a'Chrulaiste. His main goal was to photograph the sunrise at this specific time of year, when the light rises from the northeast, directly behind Beinn a'Chrulaiste. This positioning creates dramatic shadows across the steep rock face of Buachaille Etive Mor, allowing the mountain to take centre stage with striking contrast.

The early morning light adds definition and dimension, making the scene far more dramatic than it would be at midday. This dynamic effect is why Jack goes to lengths to camp overnight—to capture these unique, atmospheric conditions that truly bring the landscape to life.

In the foreground, the A82 road winds through Glen Coe, providing a scenic backdrop to the majestic peak. Buachaille Etive Mor, known as the "Great Herdsman of Etive," stands prominently in the frame. Just behind it is the location of a famous scene from the James Bond film Skyfall. Although Beinn a'Chrulaiste is not as popular a hike as some other peaks in the region, the panoramic views from its summit offer a rewarding perspective, showcasing the natural beauty of this less-travelled destination.
