During a weekend away on Skye I managed to fit some kite flying around the temperamental hebridean weather. Relatively remote and undeveloped, the island offers some fantastic built heritage from prehistoric to modern.
A brief moment of evening light illuminated this shot of Dun Beag broch near the village of Struan. The two layers of drystone wall would have helped to support a much greater height than stands today. The upper portion has collapsed and remains as a pile of rubble visible at the bottom of the frame while the Cuillin mountain range can be seen in the distance.
Neist Point lighthouse was another superb location fro KAP on an exposed peninsular sticking out into the Sea of the Hebrides. To get this position a little maneuvering around the sea cliffs as shown in this shot looking back down the kite line. I'd like to say that this was very much safer than it looks in the photograph!
We also visited a onc of the clearance villages of particular research interest to my PhD colleague Kiera Shackleton, who arranged the trip. Low angled sunlight revealed the traces of rig and furrow field systems around the ruins of a farmstead in the photo below, taken near Ramasaig.
With no wind for kite flying on this occasion this is a place that, along with similar highland clearances sites, I would like return to and work with in future.

ReplyDeleteVery nice post and images are so attractive. Aerial photography is the taking of photographs from the air by help of aircraft, helicopters, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, pigeons, kites, parachutes. Now aerial photography is used many cases like photogrammetric surveys, artistic projects, land-use planning and many more.
