City - Loch A Chroisg State - ACHNASHEEN / SCOTLAND. Country - United Kingdom
About
For three days running the temperature around the Highlands of Scotland dipped to around minus sixteen degrees celcius. Loch A Chroisg is notorious for collecting mist which in the right conditions turns to freezing fog accelerating the deposit of frost on every branch twig and blade of grass. I can honestly say I have never seen such extraordinarily beautiful conditions the depth of frost was over two inches. It actually formed on my camera bag and camera while I watched. This tree shows some indication of the frost and the misty atmosphere where the background slope is gently lit by direct sunlight.

Cool, soothing image. Its almost midnight and still too hot to sleep. My daughter recently experienced her coldest day yet(-15C)in London. It was tipped to reach 48C on this continent today. As you watched the frost form on your camera, cameras melted here! I love the lighting in the background, and the strain of the heavy frost on the branches. You are a brave man. CC
