Seen from just in front of our house on the Isle of Lewis, the snow on the mountains on the mainland catching the light of the setting sun. Telephoto – they’re forty miles away or thereabouts.
If you look along the mainland coast, you can see a line of mirages – the dark, snowless coast seeming to float above a narrow strip of snow, which is actually an inverted image of the snow above, reflected in a layer of warm (well, not quite so cold) air just above the water.
