Skye Trip - October 2013

Just back from a flying visit to Skye. Having picked my parents up from Glasgow Airport, I transported them back in the rain to Dunvegan, and I was worried that the next 2 days might be a washout! However, I needn't have worried. The next morning I headed out to Glen Uig to the rock formation known as Caisteal Eoghainn (Ewen's Castle), and although I didn't get any particularly good photos, it was great to be out visiting another part of Skye that I had never been to before. Later that afternoon I headed out on the road towards Talisker Bay in glorious sunshine, and made my way up to the summit of Stockval, where I had a relaxing late afternon snapping away in the changing light. Having arranged to meet renowned photographer Alex Boyd the next day, with a view to walking the Waterstein cliffs, I was disappointed when he had to call off due to car-trouble! I still managed a short jaunt out over the Point before the rain came on.

Next day it was back down the road, and I stopped en-route at the side of Loch Garry to try and get some shots of reflections and clouds in the loch.
