Just two days on the Isle of Skye, yet by the end we were rejecting vast beautiful landscape photos as "nah, that one's boring".

Coming over a ridge, you see:

..then:

..followed by:

So you're glad of a rest by a gentle Scottish burn:

Heading back to the Inn at the end of the day (and the Isles Inn in Portree does an unbelievable Steak & Ale pie), smoke obscures the hills:

We went hunting for its source:

..and found it. The fire brigade arrived at the farm this shot was taken from just after we'd left:

But there's more to Skye than landscapes:

I can definitely recommend it.

    Marvelous pictures. Congratulations upon hitting the Isle of Skye jackpot. When I was there in 1997 a combination of rain, mist and clouds made both video and stills nearly impossible.
