These are a few photos I took back in 1985 on the island of Vatersay in the Outer Hebrides off the coast of Scotland. I spent many holidays there from the age of twelve and it has an important place in my heart. In 1985 I finally plucked up courage to photograph a few of my friends there. These are some of those photos.
After visiting the Outer Hebrides a few years ago Mireille and myself had already re-visited the lower half of the string of Scottish islands last year, and this year we decided that we would re-visit the top 2 islands that were missed out last year.
Having already visited 8 Scottish islands so far on our May holiday (Isles of May, Mull, Iona, Rum, Eigg, Canna, Sanday, Skye), it was time to set sail for numbers 9 and 10 on our list - the Isles of Lewis and Harris which lie at the North end of the Western Isles/Outer Hebrides, and are to be found in the Atlantic Ocean off the West coast of Scotland.
This image was taken during our few days enjoying some of the places on Lewis that we already know from previous visits, and a few new locations that we didn't have the chance to explore before.
6 days around the Outer Hebrides, exploring the Isles of Harris & Lewis, Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay.
"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O Lord, endures forever-
do not abandon the works of you hands."
-Psalm 138:8
We are all made with a purpose in mind.
Lately I've been feeling kind of lost in my "purpose" and what I'm supposed to do. There are so many lights and signs saying "Look at me! Come over this way!" that I just don't know which way is right. I don't want to lose sight of who I am, and I want to go in the right direction, I'm just not sure which way that is.
I'm not even sure if I like this at all. I had this concept and I don't know if it was executed well at all.
I will be taking more pictures later today. This might not stay my picture for today's 365.
I got the picture of space off of photobucket. It's definitely not mine.
265 days left.
Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.
