I wish I’d seen this view in this weather – it was grey and misty last time we were there. Well done, lovely capture.

I’m sure if you’d waited a while it would all have changed again! Always been lucky with the light and weather. You’ll just have to go again!

Laurie Puglia
Not surprising considering how well you took the photo. :)
Paulette x replied
Ah, so kind, thank you.
MichaelBr
Beautiful – love this island. For how many days did you have to wait for the sky to clear or is this Photoshop ?? LOL
Paulette x replied
Ha, thanks again Michael. I used to go up about five times a year and I was always blessed with at least a couple of good clear days. Even in the cloud and rain the wind would force a change and with it came changes in colour and light. Sheer magic whatever the weather.
MichaelBr
I spent there and on other islands (Isla, Jura, Harris, Lewis, Easedale) as well as on the mainland Torridon, Ullapool very happy days. It is so pretty up there. Remember a hike on Skey in the brown Cuilins. It rained all the time we drove there so we just had some fries in the pub and wanted to turn back and then the weather changed and we had a great scramble – absolutely wonderful. And the Rainbows of course…at least twice a day.
You must be really special, hardly met an Englishman who went up there for their holidays
Paulette x replied
Ha really? Of course I’m special!! It was either the black or the red Cuillin by the way – hope you don’t mind me saying. Wow, you had a fantastic journey didn’t you. I’ve been to Harris, Lewis, Rahsay, Eigg and Ullapool is lovely. I think it is my favourite place in Britain – trust me to be born English! Nevermind, I’m about to experience Southern Island for the first time since childhood so I’m really looking forward to falling love with that too.
MichaelBr
You are going to Islay ? it is a lovely place and from there Jura is real close – well worth a hop
Paulette x replied
Ah, missed this comment Michael, sorry. No not Islay, Southern Ireland, I mispelt it Island for some strange reason! I’ll be sampling Guinness and looking at shamrocks! :)
MichaelBr
Yes the red Cuilins. I have been to Scotland several times and each time for a few weeks. I lived in London for 4 years and this was our favorite destination
MichaelBr
I posted a red cuilins photo for you…
Yool
Wow wow wow …..beautyful!!!!!

We used to climb in the Quiraing, wonderful capture of a wonderful place., we once climbed a ‘dead’ waterfall, it was fantastic, I found some beautiful Rose quartz and Amethyst. hugsxxx
Paulette x replied
Ooh how fantastic, I love crystals and to find them naturally must have been so exciting. x
Mark Tisdale
Loving the blue, blue sky! I do recognize that view, too. I don’t have them posted to Redbubble, but I have some of that view as well. Well captured! This was one of the highlights of Skye.

Yes, one of many highlights – the Black Cuillin being the site that brings tears to my eyes – so fantastic. Many thanks Mark and for the favourite! :))

Ah yes Bendan, when I have stood on the top left headland there, there is a luna type outlook across that area on Skye – it is a world of it’s own. Many thanks :)

Many thanks Denis, this is one of the first pictures I ever put up on bubble when I first joined and first really got into photography. Before the days I could figure out photoshop, it may only have had a touch of contrast adjustment if that. Glad you liked it. :)
