I have jumped over day 5 as I have hundreds of images to process from that day. Day 6 was wet, thankfully not all of the time and we travelled up to Stornoway, the islands main town population around 7,000. We stopped off at Calanais, (Callanish) Callanish Stones - Wikipedia Facts, Legend &...

We had always intended this to be a travelling day with an evening ferry booked to take us across to Eriskay and then on up the chain of islands to North Uist. We had noticed this church and its large graveyard just less than a mile from our campsite so decided to visit after we had packed up...

A very warm day, well into the 80's. Still on Barra, but we visited nearby Vatersay, joined by a causeway to Barra. Overview of Castlebay with a beach on Vatersay visible on the left. Kisimul Castle Kisimul Castle - Wikipedia A rowing boat from the Barra & Vatersay Coastal Rowing Club made...

The ferry from Oban to Barra, approx 90 miles, 4hrs on a hot, calm and misty day. Lismore lighthouse, another of the many lighthouses built by the Stevenson family. Further into the trip and moving out into the surprisingly calm open Ocean. This is Ardnamurchan point lighthouse built by...

Barra's airport uses the beach as a runway. 1 or 2 flights a day between Galsgow and Barra 13 passengers into Barra and 15 passengers out. No refuelling at Barra so planes take off from Glasgow with enough fuel for the return trip so less passengers on the 70min trip to Barra and 2 more allowed...

I am producing an album of images from our 10 day, 10 island trip to the Outer Hebrides, I will be adding images as I get round to processing them. I was definitely in the mood to produce soft images which was just as well given the weather and the almost constant haze. Ken A short time after...

Just a very quick edit on the phone, more to come. Ken.

On Harris, the sunny weather has departed but we are Scottish and used to the rain. Ken

This is our home for the next 4 nights. This is the view from the tent. We have just had a violent storm pass through with a couple of inches of rain in an hour but tomorrow is 68F and sunny so swimming and photography. Ken

This is the Atlantic Coast on Barra. The temperature is 75F and you may be able to see 2 surfers and another 2 people walking on the beach. Glorious here. This is an in phone pano. Ken

Presently on the ferry sailing 90 miles West into the North Atlantic to Barra. Very soft and misty but this image quickly processed on the phone shows promise. The lighthouse is Ardnamurchan, the furthest West point on the British mainland and the hilly island is Rum with Skye just visible...

It is very hot here, or at least very hot for us as the temp is in the mid 80s and very humid. We have wanted to re-visit the Outer Hebrides for almost 50 years and their weather of dry low70s for a week seems like the ideal opportunity. On our last visit we hitch hiked for 10 days in cold...

We have had visitors staying with us for weeks and have been visiting locations that I would normally not visit. The weather has also been terrific for visits but not good for the garden with no rain for at least a month. This was a visit to Threave Gardens in South West Scotland. I was looking...

Normally if I couldn't take the top and bottom of the falls I wouldn't bother but occasionally I would photograph just the base of the falls but recently I have been experimenting with images of portions of waterfalls. Clashnessie Falls, Assynt, North West Scotland is a 60ft high waterfall and...

This location about 1 mile from home is one of my go to places when ominous skies appear. Ken

From my recent trip to NW Scotland. Very easy to use and if you don't like the suggestions just keep asking for a new fill. Using AI fill would break the rules of most camera club competitions here in the UK but this image isn't good enough to be used for a competition. I am still working out...

This is a Unesco World Heritage Site and 5 miles from our holiday hotel. Nesebar - Wikipedia We visited on a cool, dull but dry day, local bus there and back, and had a pleasant time just wandering around. The highlights, for us, were the Byzantine Churches and the one Eastern Othodox church...

Hard to get compelling images when you have 5 miles of sand broken up by a few imported rocks every couple of hundred yds to reduce longshore drift. Across the bay is a peninsula with 6 or 7 medieval churches, still to come. On this side is a string of hideous chocolate box hotels, think Las...

On Friday evening my younger daughter phoned us to tell us that she had booked an all inclusive holiday in Bulgaria and she couldn't go. The only problem we had to leave that evening. So here we are in a 5 star hotel 100ft from the sea with free food and drink, oh the choices. I brought a camera...

This was only half a day as my wife's event was finishing at 4am and we were going to drive South soon afterwards. The forecast hinted that I may be able to dodge the rain for the day and I set out to drive 30 miles South to a new location. This is the short but very fast flowing Dundonnell...
