And there was light

And there was light - Dawn breaks across the Isle of Skye with an opportune gap in the clouds allowing the most intense golden hour light to bathe the whole Trotternish ridge with an incredible glowing warmth. The view as seen from the Quiraing, picks out the golden autumn slopes of Cleat and Bioda Buidhe with Beinn Edra lurking beneath the clouds in the distance.

 

Only moments before, the scene was grey and flat, suddenly and spectacularly transformed by the unexpected light rush across the landscape. The resulting unfolding scene just exemplifies what a truly inspirational location and world-class landscape the Trotternish is; spectacular in the dramatic and intense light with the typically unpredictable, ever changing, moody Skye weather adding to the unexpected drama and sense of awe.
