Loch SÃ¹rstabhat at sunset

Although looking almost due north, the sun was setting just off the left of this view, taken after 10 pm (summer time). The sunset hadn't yet developed the spectacular underlit cloudscape that followed 20 minutes or so later, but the little loch caught our eye as we became increasingly distracted from the road looking for a suitable foreground. Fortunately, there are sections of the old road to safely get off the highway and wander about with a camera !

Sunset over Loch SÃ¹rstabhat

As the sky cleared from the west, the sun started to underlight the cloud cover as we passed by the upper end of Loch Sùrstabhat. The perspective and the direction of clearance has produced one of those views where the horizon looks tilted one way when seen "broad-brush" but then seems tilted the other way when the water is looked at more closely. I find the effect somewhat disturbing, but have tried to get the real horizon as level as possible. It's not helped by those electric poles all leaning towards the long span of cable across the loch...
