Sky on Skye

As we arrived at the northeast arm of the Isle of Skye we were met by a fantastic storm. I stopped the car on the deserted road and got out to look at the sky and the country all around me. It was alive with beautiful and vibrant colour and light. Several dramatic photos emerged. This is one of my favourites. To me, it's very mood evoking.

I would definitely like to travel Skye by motorcycle. I was very envious of a couple of guys on their bikes who had pulled into the Talisker Distillery just ahead of us.

This is my favorite weather/sky phenomenon; so difficult to capture in a photograph and you've done an amazing job.
