Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps. Sharon Draper

 

The change in landscape across Skye was huge as we drove around exploring. Each area interesting in its own way. Here's one little chunk from the north of the island and its cool rock formations as the clouds rolled in across the peaks.

Shame the clouds were so low but you can't have everything.

The voyagers are looking for the flaming star. The IC405 and IC410 captured from Almeria in Spain using TelescopeLive SPA1.

Looking in the same direction as the last shot a few miutes later, as the clouds rolled in to envelop us again ...

 

... and we decided that discretion really is the better part of valour and headed back down to lower ground!

They led the way through one of Scotland’s most famous mountain ranges. Professor Norman Collie and John Mackenzie are credited with creating many of the routes across the Cuillins on Skye.

Just over the ridge here, from the sea loch, Loch na Cuilce, is the freshwater Loch Coruisk… translated that means “Cauldron of Water”. A fitting name indeed. It’s fairly inaccessible by foot, do-able for the experienced walker/climber if you fancy a rather questionable section called “the bad step” although that’s not recommended in the wet… which is most of the time in Scotland! 😀 So, the only real way to get there is by boat, which Stu and I did. It was such a quiet, serine place which contrasted with the harsh rock of the Black Cuillin mountains. They have their own micro-climate which I always love. Plenty scope for fast changing conditions which is ideal. It’s also one of those awesome locations with a mix of wildlife to add to the experience. Dolphins, Eagles, and more.

We found a school of dolphins playing in the sea (Loch Scavaig) with the Cuillin as a backdrop.

Another view,another angle.The Old Man of Storr offers such a variety of compositions and as i've stated before,its a must visit location if your heading to the Isle of Skye.

Its just as well there are some of these on Skye - mobiles dont work everywhere, including here - near Staffin in the North

On the Isle of Skye in NW Scotland looking towards a cloud covered Blaven from the Sleat peninsula. I think the the bit out of the cloud is Clach Glas - does anyone know?

What a beautiful island. We were lucky enough to stay in this white cottage overlooking Loch Eishort.

I think this is a kind of cloud inversion. Anybody know?

Non si deve cercare niente in particolare, questa è la semplice verità di Skye. Ci si ferma, si passeggia, si respira, ci si guarda intorno e si ringrazia il cielo che esistano luoghi così nel mondo.

The best display of noctilucent clouds that we have had so far this season. Taken at 01:05 BST.

500 miles in about 19 hours. What was I thinking!

 

I left home with the missus just about 0100hrs today and drove to Skye. Got a bit of sleep once I hit Elgol and managed to drag myself out of the car to get this. I had been wanting to come back and shoot this rock again when the tide was higher than before, unfortunately the weather was a bit more overcast than last time, and I missed the coloured cloud being hot pink (1980's style!) by about 5 seconds.

 

Drove around for the rest of the day, but the weather didn't play ball so I got 2 hours kip at the Slighachan (spelling?!) hotel car park before driving home again. Madness.

 

Photo - 30 seconds at f22, ISO 50, 0.9 hard grad (or it might have been a 0.6, I had just woken up...).

 

I have decided I am still not happy with this - I'm QUITE happy, but I know I can get a better shot there, just need to go back I guess :o)
