Isle of Skye - and a few hidden corners!
Always viewed Skye as the Highlands on steroids! Eveything had to be louder, bigger, better and wider. No such thing as a straightforward Munro - oh no, knotty ridges that don't want to end, vertiginious drops, hand to rock and generous handfulls of exposure. A bay can't be a simple sweep of sand but a magnanimous ampitheatre of mountain architechture. And so the list goes on... To illustrate the geography of Skye, I think of it as a hand - that is the middle as Portree and Broadfoard, where people live and work, the Cuillin hills are also in the 'hand'. But then there are also five peninsulars, like fingers - respectively: Sleat, Strathair, Duirnish, Waternish and Trotternish. Each of these 'fingers' have a different personality, almost like a different island, only the 'hand of Skye' unifying the whole. So let's go on a photographic tour around the hand... of the Isle of Skye.
