Description
- Scotland, Isle of Skye -
The 40 m rock tower known as "The Old Man of Storr" or "The Needle" is a prominent feature among the bizarre rock formations on The Isle of Skye's north east coast between Upper Tote and Portree.
I almost missed this place although I was looking for it. A pure accident that I've seen it suddenly because it was hidden by fog and low clouds.
Thanks a lot for all your nice comments and critics!
I wish you a warm and sunny first May day! ;o))))

I got about as far as your first lot of sheep here & then was bitten so many times by midgies that I gave-up & went back to the car. I think the Scottish Tourist Board should do something about the insects up there!!
Amazing atmos here, beautiful landscape !!! Superb capture here once again, are the white spots still sheep ? ;o)
terrific view Rita and I remember a trip to Monterrey, Mexico which is surrrounded by mountains. a friend that was with me said ,you told me that the mountains are so big here,so where are they?from the cloud cover no would guess that they were really there.super capture _V

Wonderful atmosphere and color saturation!!
I'm just catching up :) I love these shot of the mountains with clouds on.
Wonderful atmosphere with that fog and such beautiful colours
A great long off view of this misty marvel!
It needed to be unveiled for you but perhaps it was a bit shy for the German lady visiting it ;) Gorgeous shot, Rita, you found where you were looking for!
