Dawn reflection on Loch Tay

I found myself sprinting along the lochside as the sun rose as the dynamics of the scene changed. The snow-capped hills picked up the warmth of the dawn sunrise. The waters of Loch Tay were relatively calm, allowing a reflection of the trees of the island. On the left we see a jetty and behind is Scotland's only 'living' crannog, a reconstruction of the Iron-Age loch-dwellings of olden days. The crannog, built by the Scottish Trust for Underwater Archaeology (STUA) is based upon the 2,500 year old Oakbank Crannog, one of 18 crannog sites identified on Loch Tay. A beautiful Scottish scene.
