It's late September 2017 and the sun has started to emerge from the cloud bank over the Black Cuillin range, This is a view across Loch Scavaig with the peaks of Sgurr Nan a Eag 924m and Sgurr Alasdair 992m, Taken from Elgol on the Isle of Skye's Straithaird peninsula, the foreground watercourse flowing into the loch is Allt Port na Cullaidh and the children on the foreshore are outside the village school the walls of which can just be seen far right of the image. Another pair in the casual series of recent archive images. A large view is recommended.

A wonderful pair of very atmospheric compositions of what must be one of the most beautiful views on Skye. We have been on the other side of this water at Camasunray Bay, but never to Egol, perhaps one day! Thanks for the interesting notes Roger.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Doug

I recognise that view from the beach at Elgol....................it's magnificent, and you've really done it proud in this shot.

The light and subtle colours are just amazing, and your composition is spot on! Top notch work sir!

The image in the PiP is equally as good!

I remember seeing at least two Pro Photographers taking workshops on the beach when I was there!

A village school on the lakeshore … it makes me want to be a kid again and live there. :)
The clouds over the hills in the PiP enchant the landscape.

We used to hire a boat from this beach at Elgol to take us into the heart of the Cuillins where Loch Scavaig and Loch Coruisk almost meet (There is a Junior Mountaineering Club hut there were we always stayed). A wonderfuly evocative shot for me!

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Nice comments Andy thank you I'm pleased to have brought back good memories and I found that a hut is still available but maintained by a different group these days.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
I made a mistake in my previous comment and didn't give the hut its full name at the time which was the Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland Loch Coruisk hut.
Many thanks for the info and the link which brought back many more memories for me. Primitive though the hut was (and I see it is gradually being upgraded over the decades!), it was a fabulous place to stay for a couple of weeks in the summers of 77, 78 and 80. I wouldn't have relished a winter there though!
Shame that covid has seen the hut off limits these past couple of years but common sense has to prevail. I hope it is fully functioning when safe again.
Once again, many thanks!
