NOTES FROM THE ISLE OF LEWIS IN SCOTLAND'S OUTER HEBRIDES AND ANYWHERE ELSE I HAPPEN TO FIND MYSELF
One of the advantages of living in the Outer Hebrides is the very light nights at midsummer. It's 2315 and this is my garden looking out over The Minch to the mainland of Scotland.
The flip side of course is the long hours of darkness in the winter. I think I would find that hard to cope with.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the longest day. You are further north than we are.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd been looking for perfect weather, you probably wouldn't have chosen to live on Lewis. However, look at your beautiful garden, and that light at almost midnight. There are advantages to living everywhere.
ReplyDeleteFabulous garden considering the latitude and climate.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHere in the south of Germany, of course daylight does not last as long as that, but even at 10:00 pm I can still complete the rest of a walk on the fields where there are no street lights, without danger accidentally stepping into a ditch.
It is lovely. I don't mind these short summer nights up here. I can lie awake and look up at the treetops if I open the Velux blinds.
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful, Graham.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and a view many would long for.
ReplyDeleteGosh, you have a gorgeous garden, Graham! Do you do all of the work on it yourself? It looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat garden and the view is just perfect.
