Description

- Scotland, Isle of Skye - The 40 m rock tower known as "The Old Man of Storr" or "The Needle" is a prominent feature among the bizarre rock formations on The Isle of Skye's north east coast between Upper Tote and Portree. I almost missed this place although I was looking for it. A pure accident that I've seen it suddenly because it was hidden by fog and low clouds. Thanks a lot for all your nice comments and critics! I wish you a warm and sunny first May day! ;o))))

The "Old Man of Storr" must be watching over his sheep... so many sheep in Scotland. Wonderful scene, love the misty clouds. Raven_427 is correct. Schen Sonntag! (I think).

Awesome atmosphere. I love the mist-shrouded rock formations and the sheep-dotted countryside. And that green.. ! Great frame/border, BTW. Excellent picture!
