Description Isle of Skye, UK
Autumn 2012

With the aim of shooting some Scottish Landscapes in dynamic weather I started my trip to Great Britain in mid-November and traveled for about 5 weeks trough the country. My journey took me from the south coast of England via Northumberland to Scotland. In Scotland I traveled from the Isle of Skye to Caithness, Torridon and Assynt. As expected the weather conditions were very contrary (snow, sun, storm, rain). The exposed position at the Atlantic Ocean is responsible for the unpredictable weather in western Scotland. Often it’s possible to experience several seasons within one day. Although it often wasn’t very easy to keep my camera dry, I was rewarded with a variety of spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

In the second part of my UK-series 2013, I present the images of the Isle of Skye. The fascinating hills and the impressive coastline are typical for the Scottish landscape. The weather was as expected at the end of November – very rough. During my ten-day stay there was no day without rain and storm. But in the rare minutes when the sun showed the landscape turned into a fairy tale world and I was spectacular rewarded for the long rainy waiting times. I'll upload them here on DA during the next days. English descriptions and more shoots will follow soon!

In the beginning, when the protagonists find the cave paintings, they find themselves in a place more like this; besides, I read the shooting was set in Morocco, England... and Scotland. So I doubt this was in Greece.

I have always had a fondness for photos of landscapes, always one that I am falling in love with. Some place I want to go to next to see if I can capture that moment for myself.

This though is simply astounding. The powerful landscape, beautiful water nearby, and clouds on the brink of what looks to be a very angry storm coming. It's breathtaking.

If I didn't have two kids already staring at me like I was insane, I would probably let loose a few tears.

Enough of my rambling...I'm off to stalk your other works. Thank you for sharing this!

Amazing capture, reminds me of something out of a "lord of the Rings" movie. I've been to Scotland myself and found that the only way to be safe was to wear my raincoat tied around my waist all the time because the weather changes constantly. It is the greenest country I have ever visited and gorgeous. I found the people to be very inviting and friendly. I look forward to going back some day.
