Friday 20 September: The rest of the story of yesterday’s remarkable weather… The view from the top of the road, above Uig, was worth a couple of photos. Later in the evening, things became more interesting. I could hear the ferry on its way out to Lochmaddy – the usual distant “pom pom pom pom” of the engines, but also a periodic hoot of the (fog?) horn. As it headed west, it disappeared, but the reassuring “pom pom pom pom” continued long after. An hour or so later, the sun is setting behind Berneray (I think), and mist is gathering in the low-lying ground between my vantage point and the sea.
This morning (21 Sept) it’s foggy again. The forecast says it will clear: fingers crossed!
Beautiful orange and purple light at day’s end
Thanks Graham – a remarkable few days up here. Today was interesting too, and tomorrow’s forecast is looking good…
