Skye - Day 4

Sorry to bang on, but this is just another of those miles of mountains I keep driving past.

Leathad na Steiseig. But could me any one of a million peaks…

Trying to allow a little serendipity into my life; because I suck the joy out of everything with my logistic anxieties.

Eilean Nan Each

BANG! Serendipity! Eilean Nan Each. An island spotted next to a church with a handy car park.

Drove round the loop road through Ord. It was indeed gorgeous, but I grew more interested in the animals than the overwhelming landscape wows.

Sheep at Òb Ghabhsgabhaig. A real place.

Cow in the woods near Tokavaig

I just liked this guy. After a lunch of a large salad in order to stave off the worse of the effects of Scottish* cuisine, I decided to brave the tourist trap of the Fairy Pools. Quite nice…

Fairy Pools least significant waterfall

… except ten minutes further up the road and after a significantly easier walk, you find the tallest waterfall on Skye - and you get it to yourself.

Eas Môr

I don’t know how to take photos of waterfalls and convey the scale. I think it is impossible. Without a banana.

Lastly, I indulged my creative bent and took this image of Sgurr nan Gobhar.

Easily my favourite picture from the day. Royston Photographic Society will not be surprised.
