Late last night in the Scottish Highlands. The longest day is nearly here..
Hills in the distance below a pale blue sky and hazy clouds. A rowan tree flanks the left side of the image, a silver birch flanks the right side. The very low sun casts a glow and shadows across the scene. It's around 22.45hrs near the summer solstice
