Storm Dudley meets Blà Bheinn . . . Explore 06-08-2022 #31
A winter STS Skye meet up was well underway when the Met Office, and all other media, warned of the coming of Storm Dudley. Rather than huddle inside by the fire as was recommended by the media, we, the intrepid STS (Special Togs Services) decided this was the appropriate time to scatter to different areas of Skye to see what Storm Dudley had to offer in terms of photo opportunities.
I headed to the birches just outside of Torrin, but the rain and snow showers combined with the driving wind had me reconsidering my location. Fortunately, a shift to the left along the edge of a group of trees provided the shelter needed from the affects of Dudley.
I had an amazing view Blà Bheinn (Blaven) . . . at times. One moment Blà Bheinn would be obscured by cloud cover, moments later the winds and air currents would move the clouds revealing Blà Bheinn. Occasionally the sunlight would break through and illuminate the scene. This was one of those moments.
The clouds were advancing on the left beginning to obscure Blà Bheinn, while behind and above Blà Bheinn the storm clouds of Dudley were evident, and the sunlight was illuminating sections of the mountains on the right of the image.
