Visit to Ness

Went to Ness (North Lewis) this afternoon, and took the opportunity to engage in more snapping. It was a grey and very chilly afternoon, although the temperature was not that low (8C). The moorlands look very brown/yellow, and the houses appeared to meld in with their surroundings. Nothing much moved, it was very quiet in the area. Ness consists of more than a dozen hamlets, which are contiguous with each other. Total population is about 2,000.

  1. Wonderful photo's, I thought they were held up in traffic, LOL. Something you never see around here, sometimes cattle though.

  2. What beautiful countryside...makes me resolved to make sure we take a trip to the British Isles one day. Ken and I have talked about it as a place we want to visit (part of his ancestry is Scottish), and I know we'd enjoy it so much. Thanks for the pictures!

  3. Beautiful pictures! I love the pictures of the sheep and the shot of the houses is gorgeous.
