Callanais standing stones on the isle of Lewis during a night of beauty and wonder :) the more I looked at each stone, the more they got individual features and started taking on characters ...

This was the view that greeted me back in January on visiting the amazing area of Northton on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. This wonderful salt marsh is so incredibly photogenic, in part due to the the 368 metre hill in the background, known as Ceapabhal. Mind you, the whole island is a landscape photographers paradise.

taken whilst sat on Committee Road verge

In South Uist so enjoying driving about enjoying the views

Dull day so just caught the last of the light late afternoon

Seilebost beach at the Western coast of South Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

Cold and stormy at sea today had to hold tight!

Loving the pink ears here of the twins being lit up in the evening sunlight

Could not resist another croft house they are so gorgeous

Excitement on the croft today as my neighbour Andy got his first lamb.Proud mum staying close by for protection

Lovely sea pink against the aqua sea at Port Nis

The only sunset of the week in the outer Hebrides.

This rock looks like a crocodile on the beach to me!!

Abandoned croft.

Marvig, Isle of Lewis...

The light caught the wave so nicely to show off the aqua

Curls the curly ram!

where the way of life is tough, wild and beautiful

The last supermoon of 2020 rising above the Belt of Venus, taken from Gress Beach

There’s a good reason they call it Barradise! Amazing beaches with hardly anyone on them.

The most Northerly point of the Isle of Lewis,

Known as the Butt of Lewis..

This magical rainbow was throwing off light everywhere

Toffee, a Scottish Highland coo, can't stop wondering about this strange phenomenon while she's keeping guard at the entrance to Luskentyre beach on South Harris :)

Happy Furry Friday!

Lovely pleated clouds above Harris

Stunning watching the waves crashing against the beach

A different crop on a favourite of mine from 2018. Love this viewpoint and this Lewisian gneiss boulder was a lucky find. Taken on Isle of Harris with Luskentyre estuary and the mountains of North Harris behind. I suspect Harris will be a busy place this summer!

These ollies were in a rush to beat the tide to catch their sand eels

Visited this Stone Circle park in October 2023 on Isle of Harries, Scotland. I was fascinated by the long shodows in the green grass. They appeared just for seconds when the sun came through the thick fields of clouds

Coming towards the end of the day but rays still sneaking through the grey

This fulmar was enjoying the rays as I walked by.

Castle Grounds, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis

This shot had been on my mind ever since I heard about Seilebost Beach.

I couldn't have hoped for better weather conditions to take it! Just a perfect morning, with just a wee bit of wind.

This was taken late in the evening and l liked the colour of the clouds and the layers

One of the many deserted beaches in the Outer Hebrides..

Isle of Lewis, Scotland

Wee bit of dancing going on in the froth here?

Stornoway, Isle of Lewis

First time at this location, tried going in 2020 but ended up at the wrong beach :) Arrived in the dark and used our head torches to get to the location before daylight arrived. Captured just after 6.30AM and luckily no one had been and left footprints in the sand. It had to be a 3x1 pano edit which is what I had in mind once I was set up, its a 3 and half minute exposure.
