<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
The sun catches the rocky headlands guarding  the entrance to the awesome sea-loch, Loch Nevis.<br />
I was trundling my way across the Sound of Sleat on my journey from the mainland at Mallaig, to Armadale on the Sleat Peninsula, part of the wondrous Isle of Skye.<br />
Nevis twists north, then south and finally east, where it narrows to under a quarter of a mile wide,  from a maximum of four miles, at its mouth.<br />
<br />
It is not absurd to suggest that this terrain represents  one of the wildest, most remote and isolated in Caledonia and the United Kingdom.<br />
To the left (north) is Knoydart, the “Rough Bounds.”<br />
To the right (south) is North Morar.<br />
Both are only accessible by foot or boat.<br />
There are no metalled roads within an area exceeding a hundred square miles.<br />
<br />
They are truly rugged, remote, untamed and aloof to the influence of humanity.<br />
Starkly untouched, rocky, bare but spartanly pristine, unspoiled, natural wildernesses.<br />
Their raw, unsophisticated beauty rakes at your psyche, your soul, your spirit.<br />
But in this “other world” you find your real self because refinement and urbanity has been stripped away in the face of precipitous rock and Sgurr na Ciche.<br />
<br />
This pyramidal peak, just left of centre is a sentinel,<br />
an icon, a landmark for 20-50 miles in all directions, in this land of raw, unbridled beauty.<br />
Even in this shot it lies beyond the far eastern end of Loch Nevis, twenty miles away in this image.<br />
Should you wish to be “far from the madding crowd,” come here, to the mountains, to the eternal thrones of the Gods.<br />
This is God’s Garden. It is a rocky one. Walk with him.<br />
See your real self in the mountain pool, not the work-place window.</p>
