A fairy cake for the Fairy Hill

A midsummer evening on my local hill, Schiehallion. We turned away from the summit, leaving a cake as an offering to the resident fairies, and as we began the descent, cloud drifted in to wrap the mountain and we projected onto it a huge brockenspectre of ourselves and the spiky summit. (Thanks to Elspeth for the photo of it).

Wow! I haven't seen a brockenspectre for ages. This one is quite something and somehow it seems rather extra special with the timing of your walk. Wonderful photo!
