Panoramic Isle of Skye Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

As we drove back from Score Bay on the Isle of Skye darkness had started to envelope most of the island and only traces of light were left in the balmy summer sky from the sun which had dropped over the horizon about 10 minutes earlier.

As we drew nearer to Flodigarry I could see the sky exploding with colour in the rear view mirrors, so I pulled over into a small parking area and took this shot looking West towards Score Bay with some of the hills on Skye providing an amazing silhouette in front of the colourful sky.

Hardly even touched in post-processing, the image was only cropped into a panoramic style and the silhouette darkened a little for more dramatic effect.
