A STUNNING photograph shows a stag with a full moon between its antlers in a Highland glen.
Alex Trowski, 40, was returning from a day out when he spotted the majestic stag standing by the side of the road and leapt into a ditch to get the picture.
The professional photographer was returning home to Fort William last month after a day out in Glencoe.
He said: “It wasn’t supposed to be a photography day.
“We went through Glen Etive to watch the sunset. We noticed the moon on the way back and we were almost driving towards it.
“And then it was like, ‘Oh my gosh – stag!’. There happened to be a passing place, so I got my camera out and jumped down the embankment. I got wet feet and wet knees because I was kneeling down.
“It looked at me like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ It had a really nonchalant look like he wanted to be left alone.
“Then it just walked straight off and was behind the hills.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
