Callanish is situated to the west of Lewis and is famous for its ancient standing stones, arranged in a cruciform with a central stone circle.

In more recent years a very tastefully designed Visitor Centre has been developed on the site. The image captured here, from behind the Visitor Centre, is of an impending storm coming in from the West. Lewis frequently presents some amazing skies, especially at night, but on this occasion it felt like the day was turning to night prematurely. It had an apocalyptic feel yet the leaden skies seemed to increase the intensity of the greens and the yellows in the foreground grass.
