Moss campion in the sun on Sgurr a’ Mhaoraich. We’re climbing a slope to a flat part where the snow has just melted away, and immediately these small carnations pop up in crowds. We’ve seen it on the Cluanie ridge too, where crowds of hill walkers tend to trample over a continuous campion carpet, blissfully blind for what they’re crushing. The flower also covers whole stretches of Spitsbergen (Svalbard), as we were shown by a friend of ours who is a tourist guide there.
