Traigh Ghearadha - Isle of Lewis

Landscape photographers sometimes refer to 'chasing the light' in order to capture beauty , for the previous 12 hours we were 'running from the weather' in order to get some decent sleep.

Strong Westerly winds had pounded Scotland all day, what better place to subject ourselves to such pleasures as spending the night parked under a lighthouse on a cliff at the 'Butt of Lewis' . 3 times that night we moved our motorhome in search of shelter from the gusting winds, 3 times we failed.

This shot was taken on Lewis's east coast sometime in the middle of gales, hail, sleat, sunshine and rain........
