A view of part of the magical Quiraing on the Isle of Skye viewed from the Uig side. I say magical because the landscape is truly fantastic, with craggy cliffs, pinnacles and plateaus as well as small lakes

The Quiraing is part of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment which was formed by a series of landslips, and is one of the the largest in Britain, the Quiraing being the only one where the land is still moving. The road below it needs regular repair due to the way the land shifts a few centimetres each year.

The Quiraing comes from the Old Norse 'Kvi Rand'. meaning ' Round Fold'. The 'fold' of the landscape was used back then to conceal cattle from Viking raiders.

I have added Carole King's 'I Feel The Earth Move' as my link

Best viewed large I think. Thank you

just stunning!
You caught the place perfectly!

Thank you very much Markus. For me this has to be one of the most breathtaking parts of Skye.
This picture is just a small part of it and it doesn't really do it justice but the landscape really captures the imagination.

Have a good week

Wild and magnificent landscape!
(I had mistaken it for a canyon ....)
All the best

A spectacular landscape, Carol, with excellent colour contrast between the foreground and the sky. I hope you have a great new week. All the best, Joe

Exquisite. No man man structures, powerlines etc., hence an aura of originality of earth!?

Beautiful scenic capture! Stay well!

Unmistakably Skye. The landscapes there are pure magic, Carol….beautifully captured!

sehr schöne Landschaftsaufnahme

BREATHTAKING !

Herrlich Carol. Die Berge auf der Insel Skye werde ich wohl nie vergessen. Danke für die Erinnerung. Viel Zeit ist seit meinem Besuch dort vergangen. In Uig habe ich mit meinem Van gestanden und von dort aus einige Touren mit Mountainbike unternommen.

A breathtaking view, Carol !

Fantastischer Ort. Gut!

Awesome landscape image.
