That might be it... Or, you could find yourself in someone's sex dungeon! Click at your own risk!!!!
Eriskay, from the Old Norse for "Eric's Isle", is an island and community council area of the Outer Hebrides in northern Scotland with a population of 143, as of the 2011 census. It lies between South Uist and Barra and is connected to South Uist by a causeway which was opened in 2001. (Bing)
Recent trip to outer banks, working on photos from the trip now. I must of took thousands, haha. It was so beautiful there!
The Path Less Traveled - Outer Banks North Carolina Seascape Nags Head NC
I spent some time at the coast last week leading this year's photography workshops in Nags Head along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the OBX didn't disappoint. Despite it being quite windy as is frequently the case in OBX, we had a couple mornings with beautiful bubblegum pink and blue skies to work with that were moving pretty quickly in the winds. I'd been looking for a chance to use my 10-stop filter all week and this seemed like a good opportunity.
During one of the workshops we had a discussion on landscape photography as a contact sport, not being afraid to get "into" the scene and shoot images from less common perspectives using less common methods, hopefully producing images that are unique in the process. Sometimes it simply means shooting from a less comfortable position, and sometimes it can mean an element of risk for your camera gear and personal safety.
The result pictured here is a 2.5 minute exposure that was as fun to shoot as it was challenging. The large waves crashing into my legs sent considerable amounts of water splashing upward all over my camera and lens, combined with the spray coming off of the concrete slabs onto my lens from the windy conditions kept me on my toes for sure. Funny how these come out looking so calm and peaceful. I can't say how many times I had to grab my tripod and run before the 2.5 minute exposures were finished, but I got a few clean ones and man was it a blast! #youlldryouteventually

Bodie Island Light
Outer Banks
Dare County, North Carolina
Bodie (pronounced like "body") Island Lighthouse, a few miles north of Oregon Inlet, is in the middle position among the three major lighthouses on North Carolina's Outer Banks; Currituck Beach is the farthest north, and Cape Hatteras is the most southerly. The Outer Banks Photography Workshop (Randall Sanger Photography & John Deas Photography) visited all three, beginning with this one on the first evening. The few clouds hugged the horizon and did not provide a remarkable display of color, but the warm sunlight and soft orange of the clouds nonetheless were nice. (Given the wind we had, mosquitos were surprisingly abundant.)
The lighthouse tower is the third at this site. The first (1848) was built on a poor foundation because of U.S. Treasury skimping and soon needed replacement. The second (1859) tower was a casualty of the American Civil War, blown up by Confederate troops to keep it from aiding the Union Navy. The current brick tower (built 1870-72, soon after Cape Hatteras light) is topped by a cast iron lantern room with a 1st-order Fresnel lens. Sources differ on some points, such as year the light was automated (1931 vs. 1954), height of lighthouse (150, 156, 163, and 165 feet); per www.outer-banks.com/lights/nbodie.cfm, it is 150 feet to the top of the tower, 165 feet to the top of the lantern room, and 156 feet the from ground to the focal plane. Bodie Island light is an active aid to navigation. The property was transferred from the Coast Guard to the National Park Service in 2000; the double keepers' house, built in 1893, is now a visitor center. Bodie Island Light Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 (03000607).

Commentary.
08:00, my son, James, and I left base-camp at Glen Brittle beach.
Ninety minutes in and the gentle foothills are behind us.
As we stare into Coire Lagan, Sgurr Alasdair looks awesome, impenetrable, and unclimbable.
As we summit the corrie’s smooth-rocked, ice-scoured lip to the corrie lake the basalt and gabbro wall of rock shows a thin grey streak of ice-shattered scree.
The two thousand foot, “Great Stone Shoot,” gives a narrow but climbable rocky desert.
Three hours in and we reach the col at the base of the summit.
One final scramble and this view south welcomes us at 11:22.
On top of the world, level with powder-puff clouds we peer down on a balmy Hebridean Sea, Rum, Soay, Rubha an Dunain peninsula, Loch Brittle and the beach campsite.
Further on the horizon the southern end of the Outer Hebrides, as far as Barra, can be seen, over fifty miles distant.
How this feels like a God-like throne –
Shared by us
– mere mortals.

Poem.
A seat with the Gods.
Brush the clouds.
Touch the sky.
Nigh on one thousand metres up on precipitous ridges of gabbro, basalt and bands of quartz.
On the serrated, pinnacled, fragmented remnant ridge
of a long-time extinct and exploded super-volcano.
Having clambered past the Fairy Pools,
The Cioch, Coire Lagan, the Inaccessible Pinnacle and two thousand foot of sharp, shattered scree making up the Great Stone Chute and the final summit arête, this is the view southwards.
To stand here.
And see this.
It is surreal.
Spiritual.
An honour.
A privilege.
A sight that relatively few have seen.
But those that have seen it, will not forget.
To see for 80-100 miles in all directions.
To see Ben Nevis, An Teallach,
Ben More on Mull,
Canna, Rum, Eigg, Muck and Soay.
And to see a large part of the incredible Isle of Skye, itself,
and the Outer Hebrides.
It is too much to take in, too much to believe.
I shall have to return and confirm that it was real,
not, merely, a wonderful dream!
