Sunshine and shade for #MountainMonday. Stob Ghabhar, Highlands, #Scotland in January 2026. Very different worlds on the two faces of this ridge, but cold on both and frozen iron-hard all the way into the glen.

A mountain ridge stretches away from the camera, coated in frost and ice on the shadowy left side and brown vegetation on the sunny right side. Actually disappointingly little snow for this location at that time of year.
