Blowing Away The Cobwebs

I woke this morning to a glow in the sky, the glorious splendour of  a red sky.  Although as the saying goes..."a red sky in the morning a shepherd's warning"...it was without doubt a beautiful sight.

The warming glow over the horizon gave me the push that I needed to go on a little jaunt around the Island.  We needed some fruit, vegetables and a few DIY supplies anyway so armed with our cameras off we went.

Fasten your seat belts and we will take a slow drive along the main road heading south.

The coastline was a joy with the waves thrashing into the rocks sending a gigantic spray into the air.  We did stop a few times to admire the views.  A 40 minute drive to Stornoway took nearly 2 hours as we gasped at every turn.  The change of light as the clouds moved quickly through the skies and the dramatic skyline with the mountains as a backdrop made for some beautiful photos.

The Morven gallery was closed but is on the list for another day.

A little detour off the main road at Barvas and we were able to take in some of the wonderful history of this Island.  Once again taking in the beauty of the coastline.

 Finally, the last leg of the tour as we go into the main township Stornoway, the breathtaking views as you drive through Newmarket.

 Now as I am typing this and looking out of the window, the skies are darkening and there is once again a red tinge to the sky.

 We have certainly blown away the cobwebs and enjoyed a lovely day out.  We did fall off the wagon and had fish suppers but tomorrow is another day. 

A very warm welcome to new followers, I do hope you enjoy my little adventures through life.

See you soon.
