Travel Guide

Taken just before getting drenched by a rain shower as I waited for sunset.
Taken just after a hail storm passed over, as the sun set.
On the way back from Neist Point Lighthouse which had like 50 ft visibility, so no photo, found this discovery
Here is one of my favourite photography spots on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The nearby Neist Point Lighthouse, was designed by David Stevenson, and first lit on 1st November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages.
The weather was bit misleading here on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. When I left my house at Skeabost Bridge, it was raining, and the sky was grey, but the sign of light coming from the Neist Point direction did bring some hope to this photography journey. I was very windy around the Neist Point lighthouse, but beautiful at the same time.
