No nothing's been removed, as far as I can see, however strictly speaking, you're right about there being no photos of the Buchaille! Over 100 views of my post and nobody else has spotted it! (When I click into the top ten for 14th to 21st July Top Ten, it's still there, but maybe my computer thingy hasn't re-stoked itself, or whatever they do.......). Perhaps it HAS been removed since my post?
We're clearly looking at different versions of the image then! The one I can see is the right way round. Possibly been changed and some browsers haven't caught up?
Yup, entirely possible about the bruisers, I suppose. Mine still shows a view down Glen Etive to the RIGHT. Which was on the left in the last Universe I visited.
(But then again, things have been getting a bit weird recently, haven't they)?
The view to the side, of the valley with the distant hill is that of Glen Coe, with probably B Etive Beag peering over. All the features of the face itself are the right way round. I can see how confusion arises though.
That's not Glen Etive on the right, that's Glen Coe. More to the point, you can see at a glance that, leading down from the summit, Curved Ridge on the left, then Crowberry Ridge, then the North Buttress on the right, just as they should be.
A Hamish MacInnes novel has his photo of the Buachaille reversed on the cover. When I asked him about it, he said it was because it was a work of fiction so why not have the cover as fiction too! I also have a postcard of the Buachaille in reverse which is pretty odd.
