The morning light's last hurrah . . . Explore 04-04-2017 #1

This view is along the Trotternish Ridge where, beginning on the left is Loch Cleat below Cleat, next in the distance is Beinn Edra and on the right opposite Cleat is Bioda Buidhe. In the bottom center the Staffin-Uig road can be seen as it begins to meanders up the ridge.

 

I was setting up shortly after 4:30 to photograph the sunrise, one being with the distressed tree, which can been seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/58071954@N08/16613524240/ As there was still a bit of morning light left I quickly packed up and changed location to obtain a slightly different perspective. This is the resulting image. You can notice the sun has risen a little and the color in the clouds is less, but the hills still have some excellent light. I hope you enjoyed the resulting image.

 

Side note: As I was heading back to the parking area, a tour group of photographers came rushing down the path in hopes of catching the early light, which unfortunately had ended.
