A view to bring me back . . . (8:15AM) Explore 22-12-2015 #9

This is a view from the Quiraing of the Trotternish ridge, visible is Cnòc a Mhèrlich, Cleat and Bioda Buidhe barely visible through the cloud cover. Behind Cleat and hidden in the sunlit clouds is Beinn Edra. On the far right can be seen the Uig-Staffin road as it climbs the ridge before continuing on to Uig.

 

This was a very enjoyable morning at the Quiraing as the view was in a constantly changing. The low clouds were moving over the ridge hiding then revealing various portions of the ridge while at the same time the light was also continually shifting. This morning it was enjoyable to stay in this one location to relish and photography the changing light and mood.

 

In this image, the shifting light has highlighted most of the low clouds that are hiding Beinn Edra. The bright sunlight was limited to lighting the very upper portions of Cleat and the base of Dun Dubh. Diffuse light is highlighting portions of Cnòc a Mhèrlich.

 

This was a view that will bring me back to the Quiraing and Skye again and again!

 

Thanks for taking the time to view . . . maybe fav . . . and/or even comment on this image.
