Loch Coruisk, Skye
Looking out from the haven of Loch Coruisk to the islands of the Inner Hebrides.
On the way in we passed seals basking in the sun.
The boat deposits its cargo of walkers, and heads off back to the village of Elgol.
Climbing up the rocks from the landing stage, you pass a natural infinity pool.
We had a brisk hour and a half ashore, walking round one shore of the loch, just missing stepping on a sundew plant in my case, and wished that we'd planned for a longer day's walking. Strangely, I have no photos of the loch. I felt curiously inhibited in taking photos - it was a place set apart. My husband may have some photos - I just have to wrest them from wherever they've been safely 'filed'.I'll leave you with this slice of a mountain from the homeward journey.
Great photos, would love to see it but I love the way through bloggers like you I can. Your seals are totally different to ours.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are breathtakingly beautiful, Linda. I am almost stunned and can hardly believe you only spent an hour and a half walking around. If I were surrounded by such beauty, I would have to spend hours just taking it all in.
ReplyDeleteThe way I sound, you might think I never see anything lovely like this here. Actually, I don't even know where I would go to match this, but we do have some magnificent parks and places that are a pretty long drive from here, but Skye just has it's own special kind of beauty and I can hardly take it all in. Does it take you very long to get there? You do have some wonderfully interesting places within a days drive, don't you?
Love those seals. Thanks for the great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful trek in fair weather in a beautiful locale.
ReplyDeleteWhat a peaceful post to start the day with! It looks like you had perfect weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing walk that must have been!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful views. Really enjoy your post with pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteLovely shots from a lovely adventure. Mmm, water...
ReplyDeleteLinda, it looks like you had a beautiful day. I agree that there are just some places that move your spirit and don't require a photograph to remember.
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning views....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely area. Cute seal too.
ReplyDeleteDitto on breathtaking beauty of the place and your superb captures! Even the terms (infinity pool - how great is that) are splendid.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your notes on my recent photos - enjoyed hearing about your aircraft carrier encounter & I think the coral house flowers are of the snap-draggon variety. Good reminder for me to take a close-up of the flowers too.
How's the school year start? Big one for you family, is it not?
I really enjoyed these photos, particularly the one with the seal basking in the sparkly water.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your recent visit to News From Italy, hope you will call by again sometime.
The view of the Cuillin from Elgol is truly the most beautiful sight in the world. You are right about it being a place set apart. x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to go - that looks like a beautiful trip!
