The Road To Paradise



These pictures evoke such strong emotions in me that I'd struggle to put them into words.



So I'm not going to try.



Suffice to say that I took these pictures almost a year ago on my first visit to Harris. It was to turn out to be the last happy, carefree time that Irene, Fiona and I spent together.



I don't often post personal stuff...... probably just as well.

    I do not know they story behind your words, but feel the sadness. That sadness also inhabits the photos, along with beauty, and occasionally joy. The images are finely crafted, subtle, and deeply engaging. Thanks for sharing with us.

    I love the light in the first two photos especially, although I must say I like all these photos.

    I've never been to Harris, but your photos remind me my trip to Skye las September. For me the first shot is The Road to Paradise too!
    Have a nice weekend:)

    I'm struggling to find words, too, Neil. I understand it must have been difficult for you to post these ethereal photos, but I hope their beauty does you good as time passes.

    These are gorgeous. I especially like the "road" ones, with the sunbeams!

    I have found healing in these isles. They understand sadness and loss. Hugs to you, Neil, from a fellow traveler.

    Lovely photographs. Especially to know that there is a poignant story behind the lense. This morning during meditation I saw a road very much like the one in your photograph. My heart sends you light through the dark.

    I'm sending you big hugs from across the water in Harris, I know that Irene and Fiona were very happy when you first came here. Fiona especially had great pleasure in telling us that her dad was coming to visit, a very excited girl she was! no-one can take these memories from you, Hope you are doing OK, xxxx
