I posted a shot of the Quiraing many moons ago, which was taken at the start of my weeks stay on Skye. I wasn't quite happy at the wall to wall blue sky that was in many of the shots I took. So on my last night on Skye and with fingers crossed I made my way back to the Quiraing hoping for something different. It started off rather sunny with the odd cloud, then after a while, there would be a covering of cloud on one side of me and sunny skies on the other side, this was more like it I thought to myself. Anyway, this was one of the shots where a blanket of cloud came down fast to gently caress the cliff tops and then make an opening to allow a little bit of light through.

This is a very moody and different shot of this popular spot. Well done!

Awesome!
Love the play of moody clouds coming over the ridge and the sunlit areas.
