The Old Man of Storr and the Men

This is a classic rock formation on the Isle of Skye, on the Trotternish peninsula. It is called the Old Man of Storr. I like the opposition of this impressive rock formation and the small human being at its foot.

From Wikipedia:
The Storr is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the west.
The Storr is prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain.
The Old Man is one of the weirdly shaped rock pinnacles that are the remains of ancient volcanic plugs.
