"Scorched Earth"

The Storr is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle

of Skye. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking

the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the

west. The Storr is prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the

longest such feature in Great Britain. The area in front of the

cliffs of The Storr is known as The Sanctuary. This has a number of

weirdly shaped rock pinnacles, the remains of ancient volcanic

plugs. One of the most famous of these is known as The Old Man of

Storr.

This is slightly ususual view of this amazing place, taken one hour

after an amazing sunrise, when the weather changed completly. This

time I would like to present a B/W version, which in my opinion has

more "feel" of that moment.

Please have a look at a larger version. Your comments/critiques much

appreciated.
