The geography of Lewis is diverse. Its eastern coast is quite rocky with steep cliffs in places all the way up to its northern tip at Port Ness. The northern part of its hinterland is quite flat with few trees, those trees that exist are generally bent eastwards due to the western Atlantic winds. The western coast is characterised by beautiful beaches set to a backdrop of the machair.

However in the south west corner of the island the geography changes dramatically, here is its mountainous highland merging into the uplands of northern Harris.

This is remote territory, with few residents and scraggy hardy sheep. Despite its remoteness it has a beauty all of its own and this image seeks to reflect the variety of colours to be found in such a landscape, with its fast ever changing light. In fact it is the quality of the light on Lewis that attracts many artists to the area. The eco system is managed through a combination of traditional crafting methods and sheep grazing freely across the rock littered terrain.

Wild and great for roaming, but be prepared for fast changing weather conditions!
