Intending to photograph the Mangersta Sea Stacks on the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, we saw that an incoming storm and an increase in the wind would make photography from the clifftop difficult. On the other side of the bay area from the Sea Stacks, we saw a more sheltered beach and made our way across to explore.

By this time, the waves were beginning to crash into the rock formations. However, there was a degree of shelter where we were, which enabled us to get out our cameras and start to compose our photos. We were also able to get down onto this beach, unlike where the stacks were located (unless abseiling down!). One of the benefits of being adaptable and changing plans because of the weather.
