Ben Klibreck is the second most northerly mountain on the Munro list. It stands in a fairly isolated position, so although I don't think it's a very interesting mountain to climb, it does have tremendous views.

The last time I was there, when I got close to the summit, I came across a ptarmigan. She was looking very agitated and appeared to be trying to distract me away from a nest.

Like your work especially the clouding summit, marvelous.
Actually, 'Beinn' is Scottish Gaelic for 'Mountain' = 'Ben' in English.
No we didn't see any of the ash cloud here. I was looking forward to a spectacular sunset, but no luck.
Lovely painting in earth tones. We had sleet today in Moray! I hope it is better with you.
No ash here yet.... BUT! It snowed like the blazes... whiteout conditions when I awoke yesterday. Didn't stay however... but VERY unseasonably cold again today... and very windy!Can't get rid of that W Guy! HAHA!! Maybe another snow scene possible after all!Stay tuned! HAHA!
Good Painting and climbing!
Warm regards,

We had sleet here as well and, although it's sunny today, it's still cold. It looks like spring with all the lambs and flowers, but it doesn't feel like it!
I hope none of that white stuff is coming this way, it's cold enough here already!
so good how you get down to the essence

And does this mean that Loch is the first one that to swim in those lakes?
