PORTREE, Isle of Skye -- A millisecond shutter captures the shimmering surface of the sea across the Sound of Raasay, looking east from Portree harbor. The town is called Port Rígh (the King's Port) in Gaelic, after a visit by James V of Scotland in 1540.

Darth Teddy and Kahuna escaped to Portree after a harrowing and hungry night in Bernisdale, surrounded by large black cats^[1]. Naturally, this called for pigging out on fish, chips and Scottish ale on the pier. This was followed by an air-sea rescue demonstration conducted by HM Coastguard. More photographs will follow.

Darth Teddy's photograph, An Ode to Waffles was taken during a tour of Portree Bay aboard the MV Stardust, after the skipper (also a large clown) decided to drop everything and fish instead.

Captured on 10^th September 2005, with a Sony CyberShot DSC-V1 on shutter priority (1/1000^th of a second) and a resulting aperture of f/6.3.
