Too much of a good thing?

I’ve been photographing the isle of Harris since around 2007. So almost twenty years now, and I’ve never tired of it.

To me, it’s not really about subject matter - mountains or beaches whilst here. It’s about the quality of the light and how to play around with it in a more abstract manner. Rather than literal imagery, Harris invites you to work in a more abstract manner.

These images were made around two years ago. Over a two week period we had foggy conditions for the first week. The second week we had snow come in. Most unusual in Scotland now to get snow - except for higher elevations such as the top of mountains.

I’m always keen to see something new, or to experience a well known place in unusual conditions. This was not my regular Harris imagery and I would also say it’s not representative of what one would ordinarily see whilst there. I just enjoyed very much seeing the place in different conditions. And I discovered that sometimes, just sometimes, you have have too much fog, or too much snow :-)
