The moment I saw this week’s photo challenge was silhouette, I thought of this wee image taken many years ago whilst on a trip to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. On a late afternoon walk across the island of Beneray I shot this silhouette of a ruined blackhouse against the beautiful Hebridean sky and it’s been one of my favourite photographs ever since.
“Life is episode after episode of peaks and troughs. Despite politicians there are sunsets. Despite history there is tomorrow. Despite death there is uncertainty. Despite wage-slavery there is art. Despite loss there is sleep and time, both of which you can count on to refresh and renew you as you decay.”
~ Kevin MacNeil, The Stornoway Way~

Excellent sky. And I do hope to get to the Outer Hebrides some day…in honour of my Scottish heritage.
