Loch's Pattach and Ericht from somewhere near the top of Ben Alder's Long Leachas ridge. It's not far from this point that the ridge tops out on the Ben Alder plateau, but this view back is the star of the show.

Ben Alder plateau
Near the summit of Ben Alder as a snow shower breezes past. Lochan a' Garbh Coire is visible under the dark cloud in the middle distance on the right. Ben Alder is 1148m / 3766ft high. There was snow blowing on a 30mph northerly wind on this day, and (despite the magnificent views) it wasn't a place to hang about.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
