Beinn nan Aighenan, Glen Kinglass, Argyll, Scotland

As I overcame the steep slopes that dropped me down into Glen Kinglass, the evening became brighter and brighter. Shadows still persisted but enough was lit by the early evening sun for a visual feast to be enjoyed. There still was a way to go before I found the vehicle track and time consciousness was increasing. That may have made me sufficiently impatient to go crossing the River Kinglass by wading through it barefoot, not a recommended course of action and it felt cold too; in retrospect, leaving boots on and having a spare pair of Sealskinz socks would have been handy. Later, I was to pay for my endeavours with blisters.

In between all of that, I did stop to partake of the surrounding vistas and this is the view northeast along Glen Kinglass with a darkened Ben Lus in front of a well lit Beinn nan Aighenan and the lower slopes of an equally sunlit Meall Garbh across from both of them, the bit you seek poking in at the right. On the floor of the glen, you may spot a track. This is part of the right of way from Inveroran to Loch Etive and either of Taynuilt or Glen Coe (via Glen Etive). Its western continuation was what I joined to take me to Taynuilt as I partook of the idyll that surrounded me.
