My Sky

I promised last week I would post farther views of our

journey through the cattle pass over

Bealach na ba

(9km road av6.8%) to Applecross

this is a higher view from where we were last week

still looking back towards Torridon

this is the view from the top over to the islands of

Southern Skye, Rum & Eigg

me & the teenagers

Rua Reidh Lighthouse near Melvaig

12 miles north of Gairloch

all taken late August 2007

For more skies, visit hosts/hostesses

Sandy Carlson, Louise, Sylvia, Klaus, Wren, & Fishing Guy

at the Sky Command Center!

Miscellaneous Monday #5

The Pass of the Cattle

was the only road linking Applecross peninsula

with rest of the world until late 20th Century

still one take ones heart in ones mouth whilst climbing

Bealach na ba

a single lane, yet two way, hairpin road

rising 2,054 ft

we passed in awe a lone cyclist just before the summit

Looking back over the winding stream, Loch Carron and Plockton

I took this leaning out of the car window

without zoom

but always with va va voom
