A moment of light . . . Explore 01-01-2024 #19

A winter STS Skye meet up was well underway when the Met Office, and all other media, warned of the coming of Storm Dudley. Rather than huddle inside by the fire as was recommended by the media, we, the intrepid STS (Special Togs Services) decided this was the appropriate time to scatter to different areas of Skye to see what Storm Dudley had to offer in terms of photo opportunities.

I had an amazing view Blà Bheinn (Blaven) . . . at times. One moment Blà Bheinn would be obscured by cloud cover, moments later the winds and air currents would move the clouds revealing Blà Bheinn. Occasionally the sunlight would break through and illuminate the scene. This was one of those moments.

In addition to spending the Skye holiday with Michael Dutson Landscape Photography, Mark, Geoff, and Pete Rowbottom, we were also joined by local STS member SkyeWeasel, who joined our merry band of togs and shared some local insights.
