On a sizzling hot day in May 2016 (around 28 degrees) Jack hiked up the south face of Liathach with a large backpack full of camping and photography gear.

After a long, hot, and tiring walk, he arrived at the ridge. The sun was getting lower, and he was exposed to the wind in all directions. Once he removed his heavy pack, he realised there was a huge temperature difference The colours of the picture (alongside the snow) depict how cold it actually was – many people are surprised when he tells them it was a hot day

At first, Jack wasn’t sure if this image was dynamic enough for the Gallery, but the more he comes back to it the more he likes it because of its simplicity. The muted cool grey-blue shades which display the cold harsh nature of the mountaintops are complimentary to the warm pastel hues of the sunset, showing the muggy hazy heat of the lower ground.

On the right-hand side of the image, you can see Loch Ewe, just to the right of the sun is Gairloch. On the left-hand side, Torridon village is nestled at the foot of the large mountains on the coast. Staying on the left edge of the picture, you can see the Sheildaig peninsula, with the coast road and the Applecross peninsula stretching around behind it. Beyond that, the Isle of Rona, and even further, the Trotternish ridge on the Isle of Skye. If you look even closer you can just make out the Outer Hebrides too - the hills of the Isle of Harris just below the setting sun
