Dramatic Skye

by WBlackwell on February 23, 2007

The jagged look of Skye is a result of millennium of wind and water carving the basalt rock that makes up the island.  Mealt Waterfall drops a good 170 feet to the water below and behind it can be seen Kilt Rock with the carved basalt forming the pleats and dolerite the pattern.

The 160 foot tall Old Man of Storr in the second picture is a noted landmark.
