Quiraing Colors

View Large On Black

 

After four sunrises in a row I was finally able to catch some colors on The Quiraing ridge during my recent trip on Skye island (Scotland). The previous evening my MKII was just crushed by a big wave on the coast near Elgol and it was not working anymore, so for this shot I need to thank my friend Paul who lent his new D800 to me :)

 

The Quiraing is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on 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, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year!
