Barra: Kisimul Castle by Kasia-D
Continuing my series World from Above with a view of the medieval Kisimul Castle which lies on a rock in Castlebay on the Outer Hebridean island of Barra. Historic Scotland site Taken just before landing at the island’s beach airport. At the start of my 2007 tour of the Outer Hebrides, we left cloudy Glasgow to fly to sunny Barra on the only scheduled flight in the world to land on a beach with the timetable dictated by the tides! I can highly recommend this amazing trip in a Twin Otter prop plane seating just 15 passengers, and the first officer doubling up as steward! “If it had been clear leaving Glasgow, we would have taken the scenic route a wee bit lower over the Sound of Mull…,” apologised the pilot. He made up for it by doing a circle of Barra before landing. Please enlarge to appreciate the light, etc. better.

Light on the Past by Kasia-D
Captured freehand in the Blackhouse Museum at Arnol, Isle of Lewis. Smoke from the peat fire in the centre of the main room is caught in the light from the only window. Historic Scotland site The museum is well worth a visit to get insights of what life was like in this typical old stone house. The so-called blackhouses did not have a chimney but the peat smoke rose up through the thatched roof. This had the added advantage of keeping the roof from rotting or rain from coming through. This is my homage to the generations of islanders who lived in these houses. Addtional information from Ranald: “The tar from the peat smoke made everything inside black, hence the name. The beasts were often kept at one end of the house, where the floor sloped down. The heat rising off them kept the smoke away. A very clever system.” Nikon D1X, Nikon 18-70 F3.5-4.5G. F3/8, 1/10s, 24mm, ISO 125. / Location: Arnol, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, UK. / I’ve got this framed in large-format in my hallway. Topped 500 Views on 30th October 2009. 540 a week later:-) Featured in / Featured Features / Contrasting Perceptions / Nikon DSLR Users Group / Scotlands History / Rural Around the Globe / Highlands and Islands Photographers Lovers of the Isles may like my calendar Outer Hebridean Coastlines

Island Castle by Rob Outram
What a difficult day for photographs. Blue sky, haze in the air and I’m beside one of Scotland’s most iconic castles!. Oh well, this is the best I could do straight into the sun. I also wanted to capture the reflection of the tree on the island in the water, which is why I used this particular angle. Canon 450D 3 exposures for HDR processing 47 16 30 N 5 30 39 W

Lewis: Tràigh Dal Mor by Kasia-D
Taken around 7.30 a.m. on late May morning on my first trip to the Outer Hebrides. I got up before dawn to take photos at the standing stones of Calanais. The early morning light was wonderful and I seemed to have the Hebridean island completely to myself, so I continued up the coast for a couple of other stops including Dalmore Beach. Back to the B&B very hungry my full Scottish breakfast:-) Nikon D70, Nikkor 18-70mm. 33 mm; f/3/8, 1/1250s (I’ve learnt a lot since then and would not chose those settings now…) / Post-pro in CS4 with Nik ColorEfex.
