Ancient Facade

Storr, Isle of Skye, Scotland.

The Old man of Storr and it's neighbouring satelites is surely one of the most dramatic and mystical looking edifices in Britain. It is singularly enhanced when low cloud rolls over the top partially obscuring the towering cliffs. I photographed this a little later in the day than i would have planned but was fortunate to have such clear clean light that the colours simply leapt off the transparency. I avoided the use of a polariser as the shadows were already a touch harsh and that would have filled them in completely.
