Quiraing

In the beginning of December, I spent some time in Scotland. It is not the most popular time of the year to visit this country, but this was the ambition for me to go there. For four days, I visited the Isle of Skye.

There was a very strong blizzard the whole time. Wind speed with far beyond 100 km/h together with hail made it not that comfortable to walk around. And freezing temperatures made it interesting to sleep in the car. Nevertheless, it was an impressive landscape and Í will never forget these days.

Moss in the hail

Just one minute after the ascent to the ‘Old man of Storr’ – a famous rock formation – a blizzard started

I had to wait in the storm, snow and hail for almost two hours until the weather improved. The wind was most of the time that strong, that I wasn’t sure, if the tripod (3.5 kg) that I shortly laid down on the ground would be blown away or not. This photo was made during one of the ‘good’ weather periods…
