Isle of Lewis 2009
Back on the Isle of Lewis visiting Jenny and Murdo. This time I was accompanied by my friend Yvonne. Jenny was working but lent us the car to do the cultural tour on the first day.
Dal Beg - one of our favourite beaches.

Inside a blackhouse at the blackhouse village.
A couple of photos of the weather and views in front of 'Ghinda', Jenny and Murdo's home.
On Thursday, Yvonne and I walked around the loch with Neve. Neve found a group of grouse which she kept putting up. After the 2 hour walk we picked up Jenny from Stornoway. The hut in the photo is on the peat road coming back from Stornoway.
Yvonne and I made our first visit to the Castle grounds then went off to Tolsta with Jenny in the afternoon.
Before setting out to view Harris, I woke up early to photograph the Callanish Stones at sunrise.
Check out this sheep on Harris.
Murdo drove us out to Uig on Sunday. We hoped for the usual empty Lewis but at lunch we were joined by four cars!!! I have never seen it so busy.
The weather forecast for Monday was not good - windy and wet. Just the weather to visit the Butt of Lewis and the Ness lighthouse and see the waves crashing on the rocks. I have several photos of waves but you will have to make do with the shells on the rock!
I also had a task on the trips out. Jenny wanted photos of some of the many baths which lie around Lewis. She was making up a calendar for friends. I ended up taking 79 images of 24 baths. Here are a few with some we decorated.
Yvonne and I managed to help out the local economy by shopping in Stornoway on Tuesday then walked around the castle grounds. Yvonne managed to catch me posing. After that I was photographing the weather in front of the house again.
A revisit of some of our favourite places on Wednesday. Dal Beg featured of course. I experimented with photos of waves again. This photo is similar to the painting I bought for Murdo and Jenny at the Skoon Art Cafe. Painted by Andrew Craig. There is a similar one earlier which I have a painting of except the painting has machair flowers on it. I had to make do with dune grass.
The rainbow over the neighbours.
A few photos of Neve and the handsome Max.
