The Isle of Skye, in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, should be on everyone's "bucket list". It is one of only a few places on Earth that truly stole my heart after merely a few days. I cannot imagine my future not including at least one return trip. The villages are among the quaintest I've ever visited, but the landscapes are some of the most stunning, majestic, other-worldly scenes our planet has to offer. This particular scene is of the iconic Old Man of Storr, part of the Quiraing geological feature, standing guard over the Sound of Raasay. The amazing, volatile skies add even further to the beauty of the already breathtaking landscapes.

Isle of Skye is one of the most magical places I've ever been. The landscapes of spring in the Scottish Highlands are among the most beautiful I have ever seen, anywhere on earth. The greens of springtime give it an absolutely fantastical character, and the weather gets rambunctious too. On one single day, actually one single hike, I experienced sunshine, fog, rain, snow, and sleet. This day was a little bit gentler... but only a little. There are many beautiful and unforgettable hikes on Isle of Skye, but this photograph is from a simple roadside pull-off. I've never been anywhere where it's more necessary to have a camera with you at all times... the photographic opportunities are literally everywhere! And on top of that, Skye has the friendliest people I've ever met. I will definitely return to Isle of Skye... it stole my heart and has not given it back!
