Description
The Isle of Skye is one of those magical places that I look back upon and it almost feels unreal that I was ever there but at the same time I long to find my way back there one day.
The landscapes there were of an unreal scale. It felt like every vista was a little different and jaw-dropping, as if all the best pages from storybooks had been smashed together. And at least on my visit, when there was light it was dramatic light!
I have always referred to this scene as the 'Grass Sea' - because the gentle roll of the foreground landscape reminds me of the waves of a gentle ocean, only in golden winter grasses. The Trotternish Ridge in the distance by contrast looks like a great dark wave on the horizon lumbering inevitably towards the shore. And that great golden foreground mixed with the blue sky and hills is what I meant by the light being dramatic when it was there. Minutes before it had been misty and gray. Skye was one of those places to have the camera on stand-by. You never knew when the next great blast of light would create a gorgeous scene like this.
