Up here in the highlands we have a quaint arsonist's tradition called the Muir Burn. On Skye the excuse for turning the countryside into a blackened ruin in the middle of the ground nesting season is to get rid of the heather and provide more grazing for the sheep.
Most people think it's just an excuse to play with fire these days. Whole hillsides around us are now black just as the tourists arrive.
Not a particularly good shot but quite dramatic. Taken when nearly dark at a distance of 2.5 miles on the other side of the loch.
About .5s at f8 and 400mm
