a photographer's view to the world – a traveler's blog
When traveling, sometime you can find signs directing you to certain places where you can have a fantastic view of a famous building or a beautiful sight. Here, on the Isle of Skye, you don’t need these signs. Keep you eyes open while crossing the island and you will fill the memory cards of your camera very fast.
A small road with nearly no traffic and suddenly this view is in front of you.

It’ really amazing, where you can find sheep on the Isle of Skye.

Initially, this plant belonged to the colder parts along the Atlantic coasts of Europe. But, it spread out enoumeusloy by men. When british settlers dicovered the world, they took seeds of this plant with them. It’s spreading very easily and it’s hated by many people because it supplants local plants. So it’s called a neophyt, a invasive species.
But, I have to admid, it’s a very nice plant when blooming 🙂

I guess it’s long ago since this boat felt the sea. Once it was the foundation of the living of a family. Now it’s only garbage at the beach. Times changed. Among the three boats laying here at the beach, this one looked best. But, I guess, it won’t sail again.

In my last post, I mentioned the bridge you have to cross for reaching the fairy pools. Here we are! This is the bridge. The gaps between the stones are about 50-70 cm (appr. 2-2,5 ft). While the stones are broad enough to stand, solid and quit plane, I’d recommend to cross it carefully. Especially, when they are wet. You know, wet polished stones might become slippery. And these stones are polished by the boots from all the people crossing the bridge. Having a solid hiking pole will help you much 🙂

When walking along the river Allt Coir’ a’ Mhadaidh forming the fairy pools back to the parking ground, look right when reaching the ‘bridge’.

It’s always nice to look at epic landscapes. But, to really understand the dimensions, you need something that you already know. In this case, the tiny human doesn’t disturb the scene, instead, it gives scale and you can see how big everything is.
Take care!
