At the risk of repeating myself . . .

. . . it's another Loch Tay dawn, but very different from my previous visit a couple of days ago. This one is the "painted sky"-type dawn.

don't stop, there are so many wonderful possibilities!
The sky reflections are magnificent in these shots, especially this one.

Capturing such beautiful light is part of why we do this, yes?
I'm hoping for some beautiful dawn skies like this during the Scotland Meetup.

Gorgeous picture !

Don't hesitate to repeat... ;)

The far line of mist brings a plus.

Like it ! :D

Thank you all for your kind comments.   

Olivier - I tried a couple of things as you suggested after my last post, but I won't be able to process them for a couple of days.

Andrea - I hope you will all be lucky, like this. We have a maritime climate so gorgeous skies can occur in any season, at any time . . . but . . . autumn is favourite for this kind of spectacle.

Rosko - when I first saw this scene at about 7am, it was ordinary - no mist, very little colour. But within 3 or 4 minutes it became what you see.

Gary, Peter, Keith and John - thank you all very much.

I was up today, pre-dawn, for the third time this week, tho' this time it wasn't entirely voluntarily - I was taking my wife to Glasgow airport for a 6am flight. Of course I took the camera-bag along, but though the sky was clear and the sun eventually rose into a perfect sky, nothing special happened. Win some, win some . . .
