Last year, the point of this blog was to document all happenings, no matter how minute, of my 1 year in Glasgow. As can be seen, that didn’t work out too well. Instead, this blog became a testament to my dependency on youtube.com for my whole year’s day-to-day entertainment. To make up for it, I’d be randomly posting up pictures of the travels that I did throughout my 1+ year over there. Besides, I am frickin’ free right now, and there’s nothing interesting to blog about while I wait to start work.

I thought I’d start with Isle of Skye, as a commemoration of my 1 year in Scotland. The Isle of Skye is an island, probably the size of Penang, off the northwestern coast of Scotland. It’s located among the Scottish Highlands, justifiably the most beautiful parts of Scotland, if not the whole of Britain.

I took the picture above at the southern region of the Isle called Sleat. The area is nicknamed the “Garden of Skye”, and unsurprisingly so, what with the rich foliage amply displayed in the photo. Look at the photo carefully and you’ll notice the amazing explosion of green shades in different plants.

I visited the Isle of Skye three times, and this photo was taken on my second trip there after my finals in late spring. It was undoubtedly the best trip among all three, as the timing was the most ideal. It was the time when the leaves had just started budding and thus were still in a light green shade, the fields were a profusion of lilac and yellow from the wild flowers, the sun was out but the weather was still mild with a slightly damp feel to the air. Fresh.
