Sligachan bridge, in the rain

[Ken Rennie]

This was the usual weather on my short trip to Skye. Skye sells itself as "The Misty Isle" but all to often it is just rain. Ken

Neat old bridge and a nice point of view for this scene. I love the scattered showers as a backdrop and in front of the mountains.

How old is this bridge?

It's funny how we often come up with romantic names to describe just a normal occurrence, like rain.

I really like this Ken. Great storm clouds, and that's sure a cool bridge. It looks like it would date back to the Romans?

The rain adds a lot, though.

Designed by Thomas Telford who designed/ built many of Britain's bridges and canals. This one built between 1810 and 1819. Ken

I like the atmosphere produced by heavy rain. I like heavy showers where you can get the image just before the rain hits. Here tge rain was on for a long time. Ken

Early 19thC Jim but built using the same Science that has been known for centuries. Thomas Telford is an interesting person, Wikipedia has an interesting article on him. Ken

It rained for the 1st 4 days when I was backpacking in Wyoming last summer, but after it cleared up, it was just boring blue skies with nary a cloud to be seen. I stopped taking pictures, even though I still carried my camera gear with me.
