Slow carved Lewisian Gneiss Vessel with a deeply tooled diamond ground finish. Over 3 billion years in the making. Carved in the Outer Hebrides.
Isn’t Lewisian Gneiss amazing!

The centre foreground is dominated by dark streaks in striking, flowing patterns made by soil deposited on a white sand beach at low tide. They stretch into the mid-distance to a small group of low, flat rocks. The top third of the image reveals a calm, blue-grey sky, featuring the rounded hill of the island of Taransay, and the distant Harris mountains in dull light. Both are reflected in the remaining flat calm water from the river that flows to the sea separating the beaches of Luskentyre.
Some mid-week calm. The ever changing, amazing patterns when the tide goes out on #Seilebost beach on #Harris

The beach at Luskentyre and Seilebost on Harris. The image shows a grassy shore in the foreground, beyond which is a broad white beach which curves round, facing to the left, to a sandy spit of land. In the distance is an island with peaky hills.
Scotland has some great coastal scenery, but it's seldom more idyllic than at Luskentyre and Seilebost on Harris in the Western Isles. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

A high contrast black and white image. In the foreground fresh water emptying onto the white sand beach has eroded the smooth, tidal beach into shallow, curving lines, which then descend into the water with deeper pockets and ripples. The whole creates a diagonal, curving line across the image from right to left, disappearing into the mid distance. The morning winter sun blazes across the sand. On the horizon lies a line of cloud darkened hills, topped by an, ominous, moody sky. Perfect for a graphic mono image. 👍😁
Successful night at local camera club #ClassicMono competition. Won digital section with #Seilebost image from last November's Harris trip. Low tide, fresh water, and sunlit white sand. Perfect for a graphic image.

Sand fills the whole bottom half almost of the image with a tuft of sea grass breaking up the sand in the left. The middle ground is turquoise sea rolling into to the headlands of Luskentyre and the north Harris hills is the distance. The sky is blue with wisps of white cloud.

Looking out over grass to some small outbuildings on the left then on to a bright golden sandy beach that runs alongside the turquoise sea to the distance where hills run along the far coast of the island. The sky is blue with some white fluff clouds.
