Sgurr na stri summit wild Camping. (Explored)

            I found it struggle to make landscape photography work during the summer, but it's fine for planning autumn photography. I have planned this photo from June, and I finally nailed it in this week's trip to the Isle of Skye.
I chose the route from Sligachan with a total of 8 miles hike to the summit. It's only 494 meters in height, but it's steep and tough with 30 KG of camping gear and photography equipment. I had to take a few breaks before reached to the summit. The hike is challenging, but the view is definitely worth it. The northern wind blew fiercely on the summit. I set up my tent just behind these rocks, which created a perfect windbreaker and protected me from the wind gusts. Some incredible sunset I had while I was eating my dinner on the summit. I didn't get much sleep due to the noise of the wind and rain flapped the tent. 
No rain, no breeze when I woke up at 5 AM. I have to say I had my faith in meteorologists, and they didn't fail me this time.  The photo was taken at the blue hour (around 6 AM), followed by some fantastic sunrise photos.
