Contours of light

Contours of light - The view down the Trotternish Ridge from the Quiraing with a perfectly positioned break in the heavy, moody, clouds allowing slivers of dawn light to hit the ridge. The rich, early light reveals the curving slopes of Cleat and in the distance, the angular cliffs of Beinn Edra, amplifying the contours of the distinctive features of the Trotternish.

Wonderfully atmospheric conditions typifying the very best of what this inspirational, world class, landscape has to offer.

Isle of Skye, Scottish Inner Hebrides
