Weathered across the Ages

The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge provides the theme of Weathered.

As a second entry into this week’s challenge, I thought I’d look at weathering across the ages. There are fine examples of this all over the world, as long-term weather affects the surface of the planet and shapes it into all sorts of interesting forms [terraforming?].

One of my favorite locations to admire Nature’s projects is the island of Skye, largest of the islands of the Inner Hebrides.  On this island there’s dramatic evidence of the long-term effect of weather, the seasons and time, as the landscape has been worn down into beautiful ranges.  Combined with the fantastic lighting provided by Sun and clouds, the landscape of Skye makes for amazing photography.

Here are some examples from Skye…

These images were taken during our vacation in Scotland in 2013; as you can imagine this is one area that I’d love to revisit!

Have a great day!
