Loch Airigh nan Gleann

Loch Beag Cnoc a' Choilich After a spell of dry weather, the lochs on Lewis were well below average level. The stony shoreline on the left shows where the average level would reach up to the green grass. At higher water, the loch would be up to or even above the top of this grassy strip. There is a small island on the left of the narrows in the background but in these conditions its island status had gone. For the angler the only decent water on this usually productive loch is along the shore on the right side of the photo.

A Forest of Power Lines I know they are necessary, but there seem to be an enormous number of power lines marching across the landscape here.

Geocaching may also be described as a series of hide-and-seek games, where hiders provide online clues for seekers. Seekers use global positioning system (GPS) devices to find hidden caches
