Follow Me

Much of the area we were walking through had been cleared of trees. I'm not quite sure why they'd done this but all that was left were tree stumps and branches. What we'd lost through the lack of trees was more than made up for by the stunning views. I shot this panorama on the way down from the Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye. It was a new path put in to presumably ease problems associated with soil erosion caused by the increasing numbers of walkers wanting to visit the area.

 

It was late in the afternoon so there weren't many people about. The path reminded me of the Wizards of Ozz's yellow brick road. Yes, I know it isn't yellow nor made of bricks but it did have that feel of expectation and a sense of journey.
