20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A huge unnamed mountain by Loch Ailort in the Scottish Highlands.

There are so many mountains in the rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands that I think some must have passed through the naming net. I can't find a name for this one, but it juts out above Loch Ailort. I love how the raw geology of the volcanic material that produced it has been frozen in time for 350million years. You can almost seethe lava moving.
