I drove three hours across Scotland just to see this incredible place. I got out there about an hour before sunset and watched the storm roll in.

 

The wild north sea was battering the coastline of Northern Scotland. I had prepared for a wild evening, but on this day the rain was light, the clouds were quite high and the horizon on my right was clear.

​

It allowed me to get the best of the conditions;  the beautiful warm sunlight hitting the side of the monolith juxtaposed with the moody darkness of the clouds above in the one shot.

​

I’ve seen dramatic photos here with the waves lashing, but I’m glad that what I captured was something completely different. As an added bonus, when the wind died down the seagulls settled on the rock and created an absolute circus.
