ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I captured this image of the Quiraing early one morning in October, 2024. The Quiraing is an iconic landform on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The trail, which is cut into the side of the mountain, was soaked with water and mud after several days of heavy rain and included multiple treacherous sections and stream crossings. Eventually, I found a spot I liked (after a staring contest with a local sheep) and waited for the sky to begin clearing before taking this shot. You can see three of the local sheep in the lower right corner of the image.
