Winter in the Mamores.

[@mrandrewcotter]

For those asking, the halo at 7.30 is a brocken spectre. Quite often seen in the mountains when the sun is behind and above you, casting your shadow on to clouds below. Often seen as well from an aeroplane just above the clouds.

[@maremacd]

Was that ridge you were walking along as narrow as it appeared?😮

[@JenMaxon]

Yeah - beautiful effect. Thank you for showing it. I feel cold though, just watching that

Never apologize for sharing such a beautiful landscape. For those of us who struggle to walk any great distance, I am always grateful when someone gives me the opportunity to see something I could never see myself, so thank you.

[@IlGattonero13]

Thanks for bringing us along on your spectacular trek. How marvelous to experience the breathtaking views (and even the heebie-jeebies from the heights and steep drops) from the comfort of my chair. A vertical, midwinter hike like this is something I could never undertake, yet I got a taste of it through your generosity and skill. And the cameo by the girls was delightful. We were all duly impressed, even if they weren’t. Happy New Year, Mr. Cotter, and thanks again.

[@mrandrewcotter]

Thank you.

[@valnarehood834]

Wow! Maximum respect, Mr. C! I'm a postal carrier in the U.S., came home feeling like an ice cube, so I didn't think I'd enjoy a winter outing video today. But, oh my goodness... the scenes you captured were so beautiful I was nearly moved to tears!. You're a lucky man to have Olive and Mabel to warm you up! Thank you for sharing, I'm very much obliged.

[@nancywebb1845]

Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. What beautiful country and amazing views. I see that Olive and Mabel opted to stay home in front of the fire.

So, no fear of heights for you then? 😊 Thanks for the gorgeous wintry views of your solo hike! Olive and Mabel obviously had important matters to tend to at home. I hope 2024 is great for you all.
