The Quiraing - Isle of Skye

[john deakin]

We spent the late afternoon of the 1st Jan 2018 hoping for a decent sunset atop The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye. The sunset never really happened amongst the heavy clouds swirling around the mountains but it was still exhilarating to be there. Times like this make you feel alive

Two classic views from the same viewpoint, taken 40 minutes apart.

Lovely images, John, in very moody light.

Our one visit there was on a sunny but very windy day. Your light was much better and you captured it well.
