Drive round the West Side

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with the imagery in the above album, although the weather today made things a bit different. There is a force 6 wind blowing with some rain; a force 8 to 9 gale is expected overnight. We took the guest for a drive to Callanish (famous of the Stones), the Broch at Carloway for a fleeting visit, the Gearrannan Black House Village (closed half an hour early) and the Whalebone Arch at Bragar.

    Very nice Guido...enjoyed the last one of the Whalebone...interesting.  Those waves sure were crashing...from the photos.  The little village is so lovely.

    Wonderful views Guido.  I especially loved the ones of the sea and tide coming in at Dalbeg. Fascinating!  What mystery there is in the Standing Stones.
    I remember the moonlit pictures you took of here.  (I think it was here anyway.)  I like it more in the daylight.

    Thanks for sharing.
