EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of The Black Cuillin and Loch Scavaig near Elgol, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Taken by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, this image showcases the rugged mountain range known as The Black Cuillin. Composed mainly of gabbro, a rough black igneous rock that offers excellent grip for mountaineers, these peaks stand tall against the backdrop of Loch Scavaig. The contrasting textures are evident in this photograph - from the coarse gabbro to the slippery basalt when wet. It is a testament to both nature's strength and its delicate balance. As clouds gracefully dance above, casting shadows on the landscape below, one can't help but be captivated by this remote and scenic location. The tranquility of this scene is further enhanced by a lone sheep grazing peacefully amidst granite rocks. This image transports us to a different time and place where we can appreciate Scotland's rich geology and breathtaking landscapes. CM Dixon skillfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also an entire world within this single frame. It serves as a reminder of our planet's remarkable diversity and reminds us to cherish and protect these natural wonders for generations to come.
