Usually each year, in August and September, there will be some days when a thick sea mist will roll in from The Minch to envelop the North-west Highlands. Occasionally I'm fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to capture some of the magical scenes that this event creates.
Usually the sea mist will not travel further than a kilometre or two inland and for those places enveloped in it, it is a gloomy and cold experience! However, to be outside in the brilliant sunshine one can be witness to some fantastic scenes where the edge of the sea, the mist and the land meet.
In this case I had been photographing much further south and I was on my way home in the early evening driving along the hill top road over-looking Loch Ewe and this surreal scene came into view. Looking at the photograph one would expect the island to soon be shrouded in mist, yet even though I stayed at this viewpoint for around twenty minutes the mist remained as you see here.
