Welcome Rod.
Admiring the view; the last one now the shorter days are upon us and we won’t be home before it’s dark.
Cheers,
Ian
Is that a case of dying to stand out from the crowd?
That was also my thought Mark. Similar situation in Alberta and. BC.
However, It would be nice to be wrong on this occasion.
Might these be larch trees? I’ve seen yellow trees near Banff AB in late September.
You could well be right. I’m not a tree person !
Diseased trees tend to exist in clusters. Plus, the one in Ian’s picture looks quite healthy. Although a few of the surrounding trees seem to be suffering.
The other in-laws live in Canmore and we have spent a few autumns there admiring the larches that have turned.
Sorry, but I had to…
No, thankfully not; just a European Larch, changing colour before dropping its needles. There were clusters of larches nearby, but this one caught my eye as it was isolated and stood out from the evergreens around it.
A brilliant day in the NW Highlands yesterday. I climbed two of the Assynt Grahams, Ben More Coigach and Sgurr an Fhidhleir. Epic views, some good scrambling and a ridge which is described as being ‘airy’ in places - my kind of day out!
Coigach left and Fhidhleir, right.

Summit of Fhidhleir - a magnificent perch

Stunning!
Good - I love a happy ending! 
Superb.
