The sun broke through the clouds providing lovely light for this shot.

By going to Skye in late autumn, you increased your chances of getting "interesting" light.

In common with the western highlands, the Hebridean islands rarely photograph well under a clear blue sky. I tend to like what, in Scotland, we call "shitey weather" but you have captured a nice in-between state and it has worked very well for you.

Beautiful work, Paul. If I'm not mistaken (and Dave can correct me if I am) this is the Quiraing - a spectacular area under any conditions. Interesting, I just noticed this... is the root word for Quiraing "rain"? ;)

Thanks for your comment.
Yes I think it is Quiraing, I should know I've been there a few times :)
I've been fortunate and most of my trips to Skye the weather hasn't been too bad.

You do realise that is grounds for many people to hate you with a passion?

Great photo though

Wonderful light well-captured.
