The River Aude is compressed in the depths of its gorge. The influential moon is beyond mountains where night lies down.

South Skye landscape. A last glow of light from beyond the horizon imbues the darkness of these western clouds with the power of a sun now grown faint in the approach of long night. The mists linger over Loch Slapin.
