Still working through images from the Isle of Harris. This maybe the last one but will revisit the library from time to time as I will have missed some good work.

Is it just me but does the Isle of Harris grab you and make you want to head back. A quiet place with a pace of life I yearn for.
Rocks jutting in from the left surrounded by water crashing up against them, demonstrating the energy of the sea. The water is turquoise and there are dark clouds above

Soon I will come to the end of the images from my trip to the Isle of Harris. Then will just have to head back.

I’m not known for colourful sunrises but couldn’t resist this one
Square image in colour of a sunrise in the aisle of Harris. There is a large rock in the foreground and in between the rock and the hills in the background there is water. The sky is lit up with subtle shades of orange

I’m still working through all my images from my recent trip to the Isle of Harris. It feels like it’s slightly changed my style, if I ever had one. More colour and my processing has changed a little

A little bit of detailed landscape work from Harris. I need to work through a lot of these to see if there is a collection

Rain, more rain and even more rain. That’s what it was like when we headed to the Isle of Lewis west coast. That don’t stop us though. Was completed by a nice bowl of soup in a community cafe too
Black and white image from the Isle of Lewis. 2 rocks in the foreground with waves splashing around them. From the right in the distance are the cliffs starting to appear in the image

Today we head to the aisle of Skye. On our trip we hadn’t planned to go but weather and ferries caused us to make different plans. Noticed this from the hotel

Whilst on my trip to Harris we drive up to Lewis in what I would describe as wet conditions. However, this didn’t put us off and still manage to have fun with the camera.
Rocks in the foreground with water showing movement around those rocks. In the distance are the cliffs and the sky is gray

I travelled to Harris with an open mind. I hadn’t researched or planned any locations. Not one for sunrises I thought I would challenge myself one morning. Noticed the texture of the sand so gave it a go. In surprisingly happy with the results

When storm Amy hit and we were diverted to stay on the Isle of Skye so managed to get an unexpected trip to Elgol.
Square black and white image of the harbour at Elgol. The harbour appears from the left with stormy water. The mountains in the back are silhouetted and moody skies are above

One bit from Harris!!! Lewis this time. The weather conditions were not ideal but we managed to use them to our advantage. It was nice to pop into a community cafe to warm up with a bowl of soup.
Black and white image of a rock in the foreground with water movement around it leading to the sea. Each side is the dark cliffs and rough waves are in the middle

On our travels to the Isle of Harris storm Amy had different ideas and tried to knock us off course. So glad that happened as it gave us the opportunity to visit Skye and Elgol. The conditions were challenging but fun.
An image of Elgol harbour when Storm Amy hit. You have rough water on the bottom half and light coming from the left hitting the distant mountains

I’m still processing my work from the trip to the Isle of Harris. This isn’t my usual style but believe it’s good to challenge yourself no and then
Colour image of the water at Luskintyre . Rocks in the foreground a house to the left and plenty movement in the clouds

Managed to spend hours watching waves on the Isle of Harris. What a place, you could drive 10 minutes and find different conditions
Waves crashing against rocks. Showing movement with a small island in the background

More minimalism from the Isle of Harris. This was heat testing a lens but it turns out I quite like it

You don’t see the same scene twice and with the weather been so changeable this adds to how special the Isle of Harris is.
Black and white dramatic seascape. Rocks jut out from the left side of the image with waves crashing against the rugged rocks. The blue of the sea shows the energy of the water

Firstly a huge thank you to @dylannardini.com for the amount of time he puts in to running #sharemondays2025 for the benefit of the photography community

My entry this week surprisingly is from the Isle of Harris
