NG2645 : Dried up bog

taken 15 years ago, near to Lonmore, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Dried up bog
Dried up bog
The thick moss in the foreground would normally be boggy and unsafe to walk on, but after three weeks of rain-free, sunny weather, it is soft but dry.
See John Allan's picture of this moor in winter - NG2645 : Peat Bog .
The burn, almost hidden in the lush vegetation, is the Allt an Loin.
