A memorable afternoon and evening at Elgol where conditions were constantly changing as Storm Dudley approached the Isle of Skye. We were treated to ever changing conditions, including a rising tide, nearly gale force winds, grey skies, broken clouds, flat light which was often quickly followed with moments of gorgeous light.

We were a group of 6 togs, known from our adventures in 2020 as the STS, dashing about capturing as many images as we could. Here I decided to capture the incoming tide swirl around the rocks along the Elgol shore. These rocks eventually went under water as the tide rose. In the distance can be seen the snowcapped Cuillins.

I flew from Minnesota to spend a week with 4 friends/togs on a winter holiday on Skye. We even met up with and shot with SkyeWeasel for many of the days.

It was a great day out with friends.
