Autumn Skye

The longer we live here, the more certain I am that the most atmospheric and spiritual period of time on Skye is the early autumn. The natural vegetation noticably begins to change colour in late September and just sometimes, the weather settles to a gentle calm. Many of the tourists have gone home, so with there being fewer people about, if you hold your breath, you can hear nothing at all. The silence is deafening!

The last few days, the weather has been just perfect. The clouds and light have given us the most spectacular displays of shapes, patterns and colour. And when it comes to sunsets... well, here's just four of my recent photos... (click on a picture to view full-size)
