Scotland

 

I took these pics on a photo-holiday in Scotland on the Isle of Skye. I stayed in a B&B providing a tuition on landscape photography (see Skye Photo Holidays).




Sunset from the B&B in Ard Dorch


Same landscape, a few minutes later


In scotland, they say there are 2 seasons: the Rainy season, and the Slightly Less Rainy season (Sounds familiar)
So in fact landscape photography in Skye is as much about Skye as the sky above Skye itself....


...as in this example.


But every now and then, you have the odd sunshiny day, and Skye reveals its true colors.


Chambered cairn (megalithic tomb) in front of Beinn na Caillich.




The same chambered cairn from another perspective


Near Loch Slapin, not far from the previous picture. Strath Suardal in the background.




Duisdalemore church south of Skye




Same church looking southwards. Isle Ornsay in the background.




In the middle of the picture, the site of an ancient castle, Dunscaith castle. In the background, the Cuillins. The picture doesn't look horizontal, but it is. It's just that the coast line is very indented, and it creates an optical illusion.
I did it on purpose of course!


The Old Man of Storr: A a landmark of north Skye. Not such a good picture, but hey, it took me 2 hours climbing to get there!




It's a stream, in case you wondered. Taken with polarising filter.
