Callanish
The standing stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis are often referred to as Scotland’s Stonehenge. They are undeniably impressive, but there complex design and overall location makes them a bit awkward to photograph. For this reason, personally, I preferred the simplicity of the Ring of Brodgar on the Orkney Isles.

Beautiful, weathered stone.
Very moody! Wonderful textures Mark!
Thanks…..it was tricky to get clean shots without the tourists and it was a cloudy day so that added to the moodiness.
Mark, these are great photos of color, and I love the way you use the overcast clouds and angles to capture a unique and absolute beauty. Are you using Viewbug or Smug Mug to sell you photos?
Thanks for your kind words. I don’t use Viewbug or Smug Mug at the moment. I sell the odd one through this site just via email enquiries.
Chillbrook has preempted me by commenting on he textures in the stones!
Weathered by a few thousand years of Hebridean wind and rain

Glad to be of service Scott……thanks for all the recent likes and comments 😊
