Neist Point - a photo on Flickriver

Neist Point

            I’ve been to Neist Point on Skye several times now. I’m beginning to believe it always rains and the sun never shines in that location. It least that is what I’ve found based on empirical evidence. I’ve seen fog so dense you couldn’t see the lighthouse. I’ve seen clouds so low you couldn’t see the top of the stack. I’ve stood in downpours under an umbrella, sheltering the camera but not so much me, just to get a shot in the bag. I’ve also been there in winds so strong it nearly blew the van over. My sample set may be small but it is approaching double digits and invariable in the lack of available sunshine. Of course it may well be down to bad luck and even worse judgement but c’mon, enough already! 

At least at the time I grabbed this shot the sky had yet to open and release the deluge that was to hit moments later. This was the first rainfall to hit Skye in weeks and it felt like the clouds had been saving it up for me to arrive. Ah well, next time perhaps.
