I've been on the Isle of Skye for a few days now, touring around in my trusty van with Dave (my dog) as a travelling buddy. The weather has not been ideal with rain, hailstones, very high winds and low cloud cover but in the periods when my gear could come out the bag I grabbed what I could. The first two are of the Old man of Storr that required a hike in the dark at 5am, only for the sunrise to be very disappointing. I did have the Storr to myself, except Dave, which was a very humbling experience.
All the shots of the Cuillins are taken from the beach at Elgol which is a challenging drive in the van as the roads aren't in great condition but well worth the trip. Again the conditions were not perfect and the rain kept the camera in the bag for most of the time. Dave had a great time though, rooting around in the rocks and chasing the sea birds and rabbits nearby.
The Fairy Pools are an amazing series of falls and pools located in Glen Brittle and at the Northern base of the Cuillins, the opposite side from where I took the shots at Elgol.
The last photo is of the Nest Point Lighthouse. This is the farthest west you can drive on mainland Scotland, if you want to go further you have to take a ferry.
The last few days have been a challenge for me but I think it has been a worthwhile trip. I still have a couple of days left, so may post more when I get home. Hope you enjoy the images and please leave a comment, It's the only way to improve.
Thanks
Ken
