cliff and castle become one
I don’t even know what to say about this place or about this photo.
So…here’s a castle. And the North Atlantic. And sunset.

Quiraing and a rainbow
“This is the best view in Great Britain.” That’s what our Scottish guide told us about this place. And while I haven’t seen all the notable views, I tend to believe him…
It’s called the Quiraing, and it’s a geological formation on the very top of the Isle of Skye. Parts of it are still moving, and as a result, the road up requires frequent repairs.
There’s a lot of weather there. We had drizzle. We had rain. We had sleet. We had driving rain. And then we had sun…and a rainbow.

Scottish mist blurs the night
I can see how living in a misty climate could get old. But since I don’t live in a misty place, it seemed enchanting and delightful. And – bonus! – it opened up the possibility of utilizing the reflective, wet pavement and doing some intentional camera movement images.

castle/graves
The St. Cuthbert’s Kirkyard is just down the hill from the Edinburgh Castle. I liked the kirkyard a lot more than I liked the castle, if I’m being honest.
You know I like to photograph cemeteries…

coffee girl
The first morning in Edinburgh was a treat, wandering around in the mist with my camera in hand, taking in sights of a place I’d never been.
And that’s how I happened to see this young woman at a coffee shop. (And how she happened to see me.)
