Etive Mòr stands eternal, its rugged peak piercing the ever-changing Scottish skies. It has watched centuries pass—storm after storm, winter after winter, as the land beneath it shifts and softens with time. Below, the waterfall whispers its endless song, weaving through ancient stones, its flow dictated by the rhythm of the seasons. Snowmelt swells its waters in spring, while autumn rains carve new paths through the quiet river.
How many souls have stood here before me? Travelers, poets, warriors, dreamers—each drawn to this sacred place, each leaving nothing but footprints and taking only the memory of its grandeur. Photographers from all corners of the world have framed this scene, capturing fleeting moments of light and shadow, yet no two images are the same.
Because to stand here, camera in hand, is not just to document a landscape—it is to witness a story as old as time. The wind hums with the echoes of the past, the mountain stands unwavering, and the river continues its endless journey. And in that moment, as the shutter clicks, I become part of its history, knowing that though countless others have captured it, my vision, my experience, and my emotions make this image uniquely mine.
