Its a small fishing hamlet complete with pier at the entrance to Loch Scavaig. Photographers come from all over the UK to try to capture the Black Cuillin vista as the sun sets. The interesting and varied rock formations on the shore add foreground interest and no two nights ever look the same due to the different cloud formations over the mountains and the lighting effects caused by the disappearing sun. I too have stood shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the snappers, snapping frantically until it is too dark to see the sea.
Below are just a few of my attempts at trying to capture the feeling of looking towards the dark hills of Mordor as Sauron and the Nazgul search in vain for the ring.
I did manage one painting too..before I got sick of the sight of the same view night after night ...
