This image represents a very poignant moment of my Scotland trip for me. 

I had just spent 3 wonderful days and nights hiking in the hills of the Isle of Harris - a pristine Scottish wilderness of outstanding beauty. I felt like the island had really welcomed me into its arms and I had been very sad to leave. I had taken the ferry back to Uig on the west cost of the Isle of Skye and still feeling the loss of leaving Harris had decided to climb down the cliffs at Rubha Hunish and camp on the peninsula there.

After I set up camp (and had a nice afternoon nap!) I awoke to this amazing sunset and the Harris ferry ploughing its way back to the island. Oh, how I wanted to be on that ferry for, if I lived on the island, I would be traveling homeward bound.

This shot is as seen by the camera - no push of colour and especially none of those fake sunbeams.The shot is as it was presented to me.

Note: The Gaelic title is pronounced "Toos Awaulya" 

The Rubha Hunish (pronounced Rua Hoonish) peninsula was got onto my list of locations during research on the best places to visit on the Isle of Skye. The "steep decent" to the peninsula proper was too enticing to pass up and when I arrived the climb (with a 32kg pack) was just as challenging as I had expected.

This shot, however, was a fortuitous consequence of being in the right place at the right time. The sun, the clouds, the rain and the ferry were a confluence of elements which not only made for a good picture but also resonated with my emotion at the time. 

It's usual for me for the landscape to elicit and emotional response which shapes the image I shoot. It's much rarer for the landscape to embody the emotion I am already feeling.
