The remains of the old church at Kilmuir on The Isle of Skye, Scotland. Originally built in 1810 the church fell to ruins in the 1960s. It is a visible landmark perched on a hill overlooking Camas Mor Bay and if you look very closely you can see a painted handprint on the wall. I thought I would post something a little different today so I hope that you like it. Enjoy!
As the sun sets - The rock strewn marbled sand beach of Talisker Bay at sunset. A dramatic end to the day as the sun dips across the Minch towards the Outer Hebrides.
As the sun sets on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II we reflect on what was unquestionably a remarkable life of devotion and duty to service, marking the end of an era.
Isle of Skye, Scottish Inner Hebrides
The view to the Storr - Looking across Loch Fada and to the Old Man of Storr.
A classic view that really comes into its own with a still loch and reflections of the Storr. Alas no reflections for me on my recent visit, I had to settle for early autumn colours and dappled light instead.
Isle of Skye, Scottish Inner Hebrides
* It only took about 15 minutes to drive from Plockton to the village of Kyle of Lochalsh . This is where the relatively new bridge to the Isle of Skye is situated . It then takes about two hours to reach the most northerly township of Kilmaluag on the Trotternish Peninsula. This image was taken at a lay by just north Of Digg a very attractive spot to have a sandwich and stretch the legs
The isle of Skye is very beautiful its coastline varied and dramatic . The Cullin mountains in particular are a wonderful sight. Sadly though Skye was very busy, the only part of out trip were this was the case . We were hoping to get a close look Old Man of Storr and take a walk in The Quiraing. In both cases the car parks were absolutely rammed and it was impossible to park up. The drive up to the carpark for the The Quiraing was particularly tiresome. It was a steep climb up a twisty single track road for about six miles. I was clear half way up that the car park would be full but it was impossible to turn round. . We had to drive all the way to the top before driving round the full car park and the descending down the same dammed road . Given it was mid week in late September I had not expected Skye to be so busy. It must be crazy there in the main holiday season
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
Rainclouds on the horizon as we made our way toward Inverie from Rum, where we had an aborted landing due to unfavorable winds. Sea and sky were beautiful, making up for a missed chance to visit one of the Small Isles.
Happy Weekend! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Landscape photography from The Isle of Skye, Scotland.
I just fell in love with the colour of this rusty roof in the early evening sunlight. Visible from my campsite I enjoyed this view every evening watching the changing light and how the colours shifted when the sun started to set. It looks abandoned but I am not sure, it could be a little slice of idyllic country life. Enjoy!
Rain coming in over Bla Bheinn on the Isle Of Skye. I love Scotland but you always have to bring your coat.
An early morning low tide scene from this beautiful bay on the Isle of Skye.
A lovely mixture of black and white sand patterns on this beach.
Prob best viewed large.
Just a quick opportunist photo with the Sconser to Raasay Island Ferry just having left Sconser on the Isle of Skye mainland with the wonderful Storr Mountain range in the background seen from many miles away.
A Deer with the wonderful Glencoe valley part of the Scottish Highlands as a backdrop. The area is known for waterfalls and trails that climb peaks such as Buachaille Etive Mor and Bidean nam Bian.
After hiking the Old Man of Storr we thought we saw one of the most beautiful landscapes on Skye, but that hike was even more impressive. We were quite lucky with the weather some flocks of sunshine on the way and only some people but we decided to stay in the region waiting for better weather. That day we only hiked to that point.
I'm quite enjoying my little hiatus from photography at the moment. No pressures to produce something on limited time in the conditions I'm given.
It also gives me the opportunity to concentrate on the hundreds of pictures accumulated over the autumn, winter and spring seasons which were initially overlooked.
I apologise for the repetitive nature of my stream at the moment with yet another picture from a great day on Loch Coruisk.
This is quite a dull and gloomy picture which is often the case when shooting in Scotland. It can't always have moody and dramatic lighting.

I throughly enjoyed this day on the Isle of Iona. The weather was perfect for strolling around absorbing the environment. The Abbey is a must see inside and out. Steeped in history and beauty, the abbey marks the foundation of a monastic community by Saint Columba in 563AD. From here, the Christian faith spread through Scotland. In Columba’s day, the Abbey Would have been made from timber. It wasn’t until around 800AD the original wooden chapel was replaced by a stone chapel.
Eilean Donan (Eilean Donnain) is a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland. A picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film and television dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometre from the village of Dornie. Since the castle's restoration in the early 20th century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland.
Looking east across Loch Dunvegan from near Dunvegan Head on the Isle of Skye's Duirinish Peninsula....
A little slice of the Trottenish Peninsula (somewhere in the region of Uig Bay) taken from the upper escarpment of Waternish Peninsula's Beinn an Squirr, above Loch Snizort.
First ferry of the day from Craignure, Mull, over to the mainland. A very early start! 6 sec exposure - it was quite windy...
Shore Cottage at Sailen Village on the Isle of Lismore Scotland, now lies abandoned but in years gone by this would have been part of a thriving community, with it’s own Shop, Harbour and Lime Kiln works where up until the late 1930s it was in full production. Scattered around the village are plenty of abandoned and ruined buildings of a past industrial era.
