Ness Post Office
The 2nd most north-westerly Post Office 3rd most north-westerly Post Office in the European Union, on the northern tip of the Isle of Lewis. Top honours go to Port PO, just a few miles up the road and Skigersata PO places 2nd. Found this review of Ness Post Office from 2008:
The Ness post office is the busiest of the 3 post offices in Ness. The main post-mistress is quick and reliable meaning you don’t have to stand in a queue for more than 5 minutes.
It is also a shop! It has many cards for every different occasion, postage supplies, packaging. There are lots of stationary items – pens, paper, and staplers which means not having to go over to Stornoway for these items. It is the only place in Ness which does the lottery and scratch cards as well as having an ATM.
Newspapers and magazines are delivered daily and there is a small selection of confectionary and soft drinks. It’s likely if you are after a particular item you will find it in this small yet great post office.
4 minute exposure
Natural LED
There's a slight hint of blue gelled strobe on the floor of the phonebox, activated by wireless trigger. I was about to shoot the scene again having adjusted flash power upward but rain stopped play.
