They're calling it ìThe Great Inversionî, a photographer's dream weather conditions. A combination of high pressure over cold ground and clear skies can trap that cold air and moisture, creating a blanket of low lying cloud and mist over a frosty landscape. Most people would have experienced it as just another gloomy winter day. However, if you got above the cold layer, you would appear, like a surfacing submarine, into blue skies and warm weather (over 10C on top of Ben Nevis! A chilly -5C below the cloud).

I had a wander out to try to catch some of the inversion after seeing a video from Peter Ribbeck, but, as usual, I was late to the party and only saw a mini-inversion over Fort William - it's always a good walk up Ben Nevis though. You can see just how widespread the effect was in this amazing NASA satellite image which shows the low-level cloud flowing mostly around the Central Belt and the North-West. For those in the Lochaber area, the Glencoe Ski Centre has a webcam up at around 3,000 ft which can tell you if itís worth a wander above the clouds or not. Next time! (the forlorn call of the lazy landscape photographer).

I have a tendency towards that slippery slope of becoming disillusioned through comparison, so one photographer whose work I find immensely inspiring and refreshing is Ben Horne. more

Disinterested Interest

The quality that distinguishes aesthetic judgment from other forms of judgment, is what Kant referred to by a term that, to the misfortune of present-day English speakers, had been confusingly translated as, “disinterestedness.” more

These steep-sided valleys were formed when melt-waters from huge areas of deep snow and ice melted at the end of an ice age forming fast flowing rivers that carved deep into the frozen chalk plateau of the Wolds. more

It was having the extended time during lockdown to pour over the work for the book that in all probability might never have happened otherwise. more

One Square Mile

I’ve barely had a conversation with a landscape photographer in the last few years that hasn’t at some point touched upon the ‘carbon guilt’ complex from which we all suffer more
