Description
Scotland, Ben Nevis -
This is a shot near the summit and the only view I had for 3 hours!
Lost In CLOUDS, wet and cold and the path very steep.
Stones and clouds, stones and clouds and the same again with no end!
And I still hoped for a better view.
After every corner and curve (there were 1000)I hoped to be on the summit, but it always was a disappointment to notice that I didn't reach it. I almost cried and wanted to give up!
What do I do here? What will I get at the end?
NOTHING???
I needed all my strength to get on the summit. And I didn't give up because I had a hard way behind me and I am a person who leads a thing to the end what I once began.
Many thanks for your interest and left comments.
Have a better day! ;o))))

Nice mordor landscape... try a bw version :)
wow.. herrlich Rita !!!! die Stimmung ist einmalig - der Platz auch superklasse !!!! fantastic shot and placa and mood - excellent my dear ;)))) hugs
wow - impressive shot... and i can imagine how you felt here... but glad you took that pic..:!
Though very disappointing not to be able to view the distant surounding after a long and difficult climb, we must not forget all the previous beautiful photographs you have shared with us. Maybe there is a lesson for us to learn from this sad experience, but what it is, is to each their own interpretation who views this photograph.
glorious mood!!!! love all the kind of textures over the ground! V
Ouch and OH! Yes, the misty mood is wonderful..and the rocks- though sharp threatening, are really quite beautiful; love the different shapes and colors. Your arduous hike and persistance inspire me!
Very dramatic,Rita.. WEll done.My "Vote" and best wishes Victoria
Know the feeling - but as long as weather-conditions are not dangerous it's hard to make good decisions, will it be top of Scotland or not? It's not easy to return here another time to try again, but the disappointment of seeing nothing at all is a hard thing to face (a good reason to invent something like whisky LOL)!
Respect, that you coped this hard way, the nature has it's own rules... I think it was a good experience anyway?
You have indeed accomplished more than most people have in their life time. There is always another day and this will motivate you for more. This picture you have capture is very intense. One could sure get lost up there and you have all the proof that the elements of danger exist. The rocky terrain is very interesting yet a mistake could be very dangerous. Your journey have motivated me to do more. Excellent job you have done. Keep on Hiking. Aloha
effectivement un paysage avec une atmosphe de dolation
Eines Deiner besten und intensivsten Bilder, Rita ! So eine wahnwitzige Landschaft sieht man ganz ganz selten ! Danke, dass Du am Berg ausgehalten hast ! Bravo und Chapeau ;-)
so beautiful....love the mist in there, it's nice to follow your travels...
Looks like a typical day on Nevis to me! from the times I've been it's a rarity to have good visibility. Great photo, brought back lots of good memories for me!
Yes the trail looks difficult and it makes the hike that much harder without a view for satisfaction, but satisfaction will come from knowing you hung on and made it to the top. The mountain has a beauty all to itself even shrouded in cloud. Looks like a trail that will never end because the end is hidden by the clouds. Excellent!!!!!! V
OOOOOH WEEEEEEE!!! Wow Rita....i suppose you already knew how much i would love this one. GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL!!! SOOOOOOO PERFECT!!!! Love the mist, love they mysterious mood it brings. Definitly one of the best mist-shots i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!!!! Have a wonderful day now, ya hear #:O)
beautifully caught - would try a b/w version too...
I know what you mean... Don't change, serita!
after reflexion ,i prefer ,niagara falls! lol!
Outstanding details ! Fantastic shot and textures ! I'm glad you did it ! Excellent work !!! VOTE
Looks like something from the Lord of the Rings! It must've been hard to keep going - the best reward for climbing mountains is the view from the top, and you don't have much of a view here :)
So barren this place... really looks like Mordor ! But it is amazing... very well done !
excellent! The misty mood is wonderful !
Rita, you certainly are a champion of perseverance ... ;-)
Yep, I can see why you grew to dislike that mountain! Very well captured though...I don't see the oxygen tank around anywhere though! :0)
Wonderfull...Scene as bettlefield..Beautyfull:))
Good luck Rita, you will make it!
fantastic work!!! have a nice day :)
LOL.I knew Andreas would love this...I heard the trek up Ben Nevis was difficult and you are soooo proving that with this photo journal of yours.I also heard most of the time when you get to the top you can't see a damn thing!Hope this turns out better for you than that!Guess I'll just have to wait and see... :)
Fantastic work! Likes an inhospitable Moon landscape!
