The Isle of Skye. 4 days in this stunning, extreme and awe inspiring landscape. There are shear cliffs that allow rivers to plummet into the sea below. Rock face spires that shoot to the heavens and eerie glens that hold some kind of mystical allure. All of these attributes make for a fantastic location to visit with a camera..... And everyone who owns a camera knows this.
The Isle of Skye of a few years ago has gone. The landscape remains the same but the car parks and foot paths are new additions to the island. Our choice of exploring in November was intentional, yes there might be clouds laden with rain that refuse to move for our entire week but we would not be faced with the crowds that the asphalt additions have been laid for. We would bring waterproofs, we would bring flask for soup that we would wrap our numb with the cold fingers round. We would have peace and quite. And we did.
The locations I explored with the camera delivered, and I must say, when the weather was challenging the photographs were better. I couldn't do much vlogging at many locations because of the racing wind that muffled my words and made my eyes stream and sting. But I took some photos and I am happy with how they turned out.
There are so many photos of Skye, every glen, mountain and waterfall. I knew this and it made the experience more free. And if the weather was punishing, then I knew I might get something a bit special when I pressed the shutter.
Below are the 3 vlogs for the 3 full days we spent on the Isle of Skye, along with some of the images I came away with.
