Neist Point and the Neist Point Lighthouse

After a week of hardly any Sun I got lucky this afternoon, as it was beautiful weather, quite a rare sight on Skye. ;-) No wind and a lot of sun. Towards the sunset though, the sun got behind clouds and the light got boring. Fortunately, a few minutes before sunset, there was a small hole in the clouds and the cliffs became red for a minute or two. And, that was it, no more colors after that.

If you take a good look at the size of the light house, it will gave you some idea as to just how big the landscape is .Thanks for viewing every one . a Truly amazing landscape all around Skye.

Another evening out on Skye, for once the weather on a trip was holding nicely for me, I never have much luck with it usually... With the promise of a possible decent sunset I decided to head for the opposite West side of the Island and a new location for me, Neist Point, it isn't the easiest of places to get to due to the narrow twisty roads but very rewarding when you reach the end, similar to Elgol in that respect.
Arrived a few hours before sunset to have a good wander around and find a decent spot, finally settling up on the cliffs looking over the cliff line down to the lighthouse, the light show didn't disappoint and was beautiful to watch, the Outer Hebrides can be seen in the far right of the frame, South Uist and Barra below it I'm guessing...
The journey back to my tent was made a lot quicker in the dark by the nice local girl from Portree I met who was also out taking pictures, I wasn't sure of the route back so I followed her back to Portree in the car, she drove like Lewis Hamilton so I was back in under an hour which shouldn't have been possible... if you're reading this thanks very much I would definitely have got lost otherwise.

I've decided this year to try and keep track of my images a lot more closely in regards to what I've processed from trips and what remains untouched, as so much stuff is just lying there on a hard drive untouched as you tend to just move onto the next trip, the previous ones get forgotten and so on.
This was one such image that hadn't seen the light of day so to speak, a bit of a waste as the light on this evening at Neist Point was absolutely gorgeous as the sun faded towards the sea the warm light hitting the ground and the large rocky cliffs above the lighthouse was stunning. the islands seen in the rear are the Outer Hebrides, namely South Uist and Barra.

Thanks very much to the couple taking a selfie on top of the cliff at Neist Point on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, for giving my image some scale.

Two for the price of one today.
Here's the landscape purist version without some bloke and his scruffy dog getting in the way.

One from my earlier Skye trip which I overlooked. After the squally showers moved overhead a calm tranquil Neist resumed.
