Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie, Scotland
Taken a few days after the previous upload on the way back from Skye. Storm Callum dictated that we left early and so a second opportunity to stop off and take a few more shots... well rather a lot actually. We arrived just after castle opening time, the fire in the great hall already lit. The sun hung around as long as it dared with the storm clouds approaching from the west before running for cover.
We stayed close on an hour crouched low by the side of the car with Mrs R valiantly acting as makeshift windbreak and lens wiper. I was hoping for that one shot of sunrays illuminating the castle surrounded by a dark stormy background, just like the image I had kept in my mind's eye all these years. It never materialised and so I cut my loses and packed up. It turned out to be the right call for no sooner had we crossed the bridge and drove pass the castle did the full force of storm Callum empty the heavens and that closed this particular photography chapter.
Always loved this song and lyrics... hope you do to
