Brocken Spectre, Ben More, Isle of Mull, Scotland
This is a photo of the phenomenon known as the Brocken Spectre. Named after
a German who first identified (recorded) it.
The spectra is actually formed when your shadow is cast onto a layer of mist
lying below you. So it is very rare to see one. I have been lucky enough to
see it on several occasions in the mountains, and once on a coastal walk in
Wales.
