Ancient Pinnacles

Explore #7 - 10/08/17

I'm just in the process of planning a trip away and Skye is never far from my mind.. I got around to looking back at shots from the last trip and realised there is still a lot sat there completely untouched, something which I've been trying to address as it's such a waste given the effort to get them in the first place...

This was an early start which saw me being the first one up here on this morning, some nice light coming in with a very overcast sky making for a dramatic contrasting scene, this was shot a lot further down the slopes than the previous image I posted a good while back using a well worn walking track as a lead in,

You're never going to have a wasted trip up here for sunrise, because even if the light doesn't play ball for you you are still going to have the place pretty much to yourself to just take it all in, if you don't get a shot, hey so what, look where you are.... if you have ever seen how busy this place gets later in the day you will appreciate where I'm coming from.
