The waterfalls facing Buachaille Etive Mor are one of the most popular sights in Glencoe, Scotland. I visited these falls dozens of times, looking for the perfect conditions with the river full, the rapids roaring and the sky cloudy and windy.

The image I had in mind was very different from your usual view of this scene; I wanted to give a sense of how wild, powerful and massive the waterfalls can be, and how crazy the wind could make the clouds look.

Compositionally, I wanted the wind to blow the clouds so that they’d point down towards the mountain, to counterbalance the movement of the falling water.
