The extraordinary landscape of "The Quiraing," in the Trotternish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye.

            Poem.

Gouged.
Chiselled.
Fallen slabs of earth.
Folds of rock, soil and green mantle,
lie prostrate,
like a pile of giant dominoes.
Cliffs. 
Edges.
Precipices.
Rock-faces and 
spires of stone,
proliferate this dream landscape,
gravity-driven, and ancient.
As Geomorphologists do,
I have seen many, many landscapes.
This one is unique.
It is mystical
and almost……
beyond belief!
