p.1 #1 · The Quiraing , Isle of Skye (4)

The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northern-most summit of the Trotternish Ridge near the north-east coast of the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving and the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.

1. Panoramic view looking east .
2, 4. Closer views looking east .
3. From the single-track approach road .

This looks like a great place. Number one is my favorite but it looks a little too HDR-ish. The shadows don't quite seem dark enough... No biggie though, still a nice shot.

Nice set -

Both the available light and you processing shine in image #2, I really like the darker shadows and contrast.

Hey Adrian,

What a cool area! You captured it really well, with clouds and blue skies! #2 and 3 are probably my favorites, but they are all special.

Awesome shots, Adrian. I especially like the softness of light and the addition of living creatures in the 3rd.

Thank you for sharing these pics. I can only hope to be able to see this country though my own eyes someday.

Always love to see your Scotland photos. Taking the family there next summer for 3 weeks. Can't wait! Hope I come away with photo's that come at least close to the ones you have displayed so far. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful scenes, Colonel! Man that's a island filled with rugged terrain. I particularly like the deeper shadows in the 2nd, but they're all quite enjoyable.

Beautiful series, Adrian. I love them all, but I really like the lighting and shapes in #2, so I'm picking that as the favorite.

great shots here Adrian,
i was there at dawn, and was most magical.
