Early light at Eilean Donan - a photo on Flickriver

Early light at Eilean Donan

            I've driven past Eilean Donan castle countless times almost without a second glance on my way to bigger and better things - mountains!
However, I was stopped in my tracks early one morning, and just had to capture the scene.  The sky was moody, the light golden, the air was still and best of all the tide was in which covered the seaweed and gave almost perfect reflections.  It may be a 'honeypot' but in those conditions it would be rude not to stop!  It is probably at it's best under a dark sky with snow on the hills, but early on a late spring morning is a close second.
