From my viewpoint on Dumyat I had noticed a fresh fall of snow on the hills. I decided to keep away from the high tops as I knew walking would be tough in deep soft snow. It takes a few thaws and re freezes before the snow would consolidate enough for walking on without sinking up to my knees.
I still looked forward to a walk so chose a low top. Ben A'An is described as "The wee mountain with the big views". Its in the heart of the Trosssachs ..so only a 30 minute drive from my house.
I was up before dawn ..as I knew this hill would be busier than the high street the week before Xmas. It was ..people were like a trail of ants heading up the path to see the views. But none of them saw what I saw ?
The moon seen from my house just before driving to The Trosssachs. It was a freezing cold clear sky day.
The moment the sun started to appear just below the horizon
It cast a lovely pink alpenglow on the far horizon
Then touched the hills and trees with a golden glow
