Outer Hebrides Pictures, Images and Stock Photos

A series of 2 striking images of the beaches at Luskentyre on Eilean Siar in the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides (The Isle of Harris, specifically), off North West Scotland in the UK. Taken in midmorning, early May 2021 during an unusually prolonged winter. Both images show dramatic storm clouds building over the North Harris hills but these are casing shadows and unusual light where the hills meet the sea. The sand and sea at this world famous viewpoint are constantly shifting such that a new sandbank has developed and allowed the Jade Green seas to create new routes over the dazzling white sand. The two pictures are broadly similar but the second one is arguably more dramatic, given the shooting in HDR. In the first picture illustrates the deep cobalt blue sea, fading towards the hills as deep emerald but then fades further still to paler Jade in the shallowest areas. The second picture was taken in HDR and really emphasises the already vivid colours of the water, the rocks and the sand.
