Road Trip — Scotland

Elgol #68 (2012)

  • This photograph was taken in Elgol, Isle of Skye, Scotland, overlooking the Cuillin mountain range. The sea stretches out with a controlled stillness, carrying the color of the sky into its depths. Rocks in the foreground emerge as tactile forms, in warm tones, anchoring the scene against the cold expanse of water. Clouds float slowly over the mountains, shaping the movement without urgency. The coastline frames a space where land, sea, and sky align through balance, not contrast. The image observes a seascape governed by clarity and restraint, where scale seems suspended in the silence of the blue. Here, the coast does not confront the ocean; it silently dialogues with it.
    We recommend visiting our "Places to Remember/Isle of Skye" gallery, where we share details of our visits in 2012 and 2014 to the Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides.
