Peat cutters cottage.

Peat cutters cottage, Lewis, Outer Hebrides.

 

Getting off the Ferry at Stornaway we headed out and across the peat moors on the old A858 to the West coast.

It's been very dry on Lewis and we got half way across before we came across fire engines and a big peat fire.

Surreal to drive across a deserted moor with flames right up to the road on both sides.

 

I like the 'miniature house' effect with this. Shot using a 50mm f1.4 wide open with the vignette slightly increased and auto curve compensation in Aperture.
