Skywatch Friday - Loch Scavaig, Skye


The Cuillin range of hills outshone by the sweep of clouds above. Taken from the boat 'Bella Jane', crossing Loch Scavaig from Loch Coruisk to the village of Elgol.

Small boat or a walk in across the hills, including the notorious 'Bad Step', are the only ways to reach Loch Coruisk.

More skies across the world are at Skywatch Friday.

    This looks like a lonely, wild place!

    BLESSED BE THE SKY

    Cloudy, clear,
    Bright or drear—
    Blessed be the sky!

    Sun and star,
    Near or far—
    Blessed be the sky!

    Rain or snow,
    Sunset glow—
    Blessed be the sky!

    Wind or calm,
    Healing balm—
    Blessed be the sky!

    Oh my goodness, that scenery is gorgeous! It rivals our Grand Tetons in every way. Amazing country you are in. P.S. Keep an eye out for Tropical Storm Maria. I see it may be coming your way. Hopefully you need some rain.

    That is just a magnificent view! I agree the boat seems the wise choice for a visit, any hike with the place "bad steps" sound a bit dangerous!
    Thanks for sharing on Skywatch!

    I have to correct my previous message. It isn't Maria you will be getting, it is Tropical Storm Katia, this coming Monday. Crazy, isn't it? I never thought of Edinburgh as the "tropics". Wishing you well, and that you don't get rained on too heavily.

    Beautiful Cumulus topped by Cirrus fibratus. Lovely shot. Long time since I was near the Cuillins, we camped at Loch Brittle many years ago.

    Skye at last, and it is totally beautiful. That gorgeous sky is really something!

    I am really looking forward to more pictures, but then I always enjoy your pictures of all these places which I will probably never see, except in your photos. Thanks Linda.

    Hi there - its been a very long time since I set foot on Skye - what a places.

    I sat in the middle of the Cuillins with coffee and mars-bars and just looked and looked.

    Thanks for the trip into nostalgia!

    Stunning! It sounds like the perfect way to spend a day to me!

    I enjoyed your comment today about McDonalds. :) I think the appeal has more to do with the little trinkets that are included with a kids meal than with the actual food. I was thrilled to take them to a real diner, and I hope they remember it as one of the best highlights from our trip.

    Have a blessed weekend!
