Roads - Lewis and Harris

Have been having some great driving in the past week through the beautiful islands of Lewis and Harris. The roads twist and turn and disappear around inviting corners. You are constantly suprised by the colours and the contrasts of the land and seascapes. There is just no telling what will see next. At one moment you are driving along rugged wind-swept hill country where the roads have no shoulders and the rock face drops straight down to the sea lochs below.

Moments later, you are approaching beautiful white sandy beaches that are packed so hard that aircraft land on them. Scheduled aircraft! Or you come upon a sheltered bay with sailboats anchored safely from the fickle sea.

I am going to be very sorry to leave this place. There is a beauty here that is difficult to put into words and photos only tease the imagination.
