    Scottish islands: Lewis

    August 4, 2015 /

    No apology required for re-visiting this astonishing place, for my post on the Isle of Lewis! Callanish takes you back to the elements – it’s raw and cold, like bones of the earth, and it has a strong magic, too.   We went there on a windy day in September, with a strangely ethereal sky and quite challenging lighting.   At first I thought most of the photos were useless but with a bit of imagination they have been resurrected.
