The Glow of the Needle

The impressive towering Needle feature in the Quiraing, Isle of Skye. Few people about, as the day had started dreich and drizzly, so no one helpful to give a sense of scale - the Needle is 37 metres high. The route up is a steep hard slog - much worse than it appears in the photograph, but coming down can be treacherous. The day ended with some patchy bright sunshine, and I was fortunate to catch light striking the Needle.
