Description
I'm sure I've said it many times over, but I look back on my short time on the Isle of Skye as if it were a waking dream. There was just something fantastic and raw about the landscape there. It struck me as something you'd find in a fantasy film or a movie about the ancient earth. The Highlands landscapes in general were amazing, but Skye was the pinnacle of the trip for me.
And to prove the point that it belonged in a fantasy film, a year or so later, I watched the fantasy film, Stardust, in which I recognized scenes from Skye. And sure, enough, I was correct, they had filmed parts of the movie in the amazing setting of the Highlands, including on Skye.
The afternoon we walked along the rugged Quiraing on Skye was incredibly misty. The weather of the day had revolved constantly between rain and a bit of sun. When we got to this location, the skies were preparing to cloud over once more and mists were settling on the jagged rocks. I loved the atmosphere - it added even more to that primeval feeling.
But this picture has always spoken more of adventure to me. I love the people, my fellow travelers on this trip, in the foreground exploring and lending a sense of scale to this immense landscape. It really captures the spirit of my travels on Sky, and perhaps for others as well, their memories of walking the hills of Skye?
