Not a breath of wind. #uist
Light grey cloud covers the sky with a hint of pink light along the horizon. A black cat sits on the stool in front of the window.

A fine, still morning and I’ve enjoyed a lie-in. #uist
The sun dazzles , turning sky and loch bright. A few wispy clouds drift across the sky.

Dramatic clouds and reflections. #uist
Ruffled grey clouds stretch off into the distance amid patches of blue . All is reflected perfectly in the loch. The band of cloud moves east, chasing away the blue sky.

A strange glow in the northwest. #uist
In the distant northwest, a golden glow on the horizon. Beneath cloud cover and between fence posts, what could be causing this?

#sunset #uist
A little before sunset, the west turns to gold with crepuscular rays. The pink sun is on the horizon. It burns from beyond my neighbour’s house.

Having a lazy day after the excitement of the week. #uist 😻🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
Georgia, a white and black cat, lies on the stool in front of the windows. Outside, blue skies and sunshine. Whoever adopts Star needs to provide her with a cat tree!

A red dawn and a crescent moon. #uist
Red light behind a drape of grey clouds reflected in the stilll loch while a crescent moon shines in the deep blue sky. The red glow stretches from hill to loch.

The light is fading after a beautiful day. #uist
Looking south over the loch as blue sky reflects in the water. Looking west, the sun sinks in a golden haze. Cats sit in the windows and watch evening come.

Oidhche Shamhna – a South Uist #Halloween

Ethnomusicologist, photographer, folklorist, & scholar Margaret Fay Shaw (1903–2004) recorded a traditional Hebridean Halloween on South Uist in the 1930s, in photographs & on film

A black and white image of two children dressed for Halloween, standing on a flat patch of scrubby ground with a rocky hillside rising behind them. The children are wearing multiple layers of outsized clothes, bundled and knotted around them. Their hands are hidden within their sleeves, and they have huge adult work-boots on their feet. The figure on the left is wearing a crude mask with tiny eyeholes and a mouth hole; tufts of dried grass have been added to create a beard and moustache. The figure on the right doesn't seem to have a mask – just a large clump of heather for a head, protruding from a jacket collar swathed in scarves.

The dancers are out in force! #aurora #uist
Green and pink flares across the night sky. Layers of pink and green obscure the plough. With my iPhone, the colours are intense. I can’t wait to see what you folks with the proper cameras see. More flares of red and green to the east. Will there be corona later?

Enzo handed over to a very excited lady and her granddaughters and I’m back on the ferry to Berneray. #uist
The ferry port. Lichen on the quay. Still a millpond crossing back.
