Lazy Beds, Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland
I had seen this view since the late 1970s, when I first came. During many visits, I never managed to make the photo I had in my mind. In August 2019, the light was just right. It shows how much this landscape that many visitors may consider as natural, wild or virgin, has been shaped by human activity. Lazy beds are raised fields that local people have built in order to be able to grow potatoes in the wet moorlands of the Outer Isles.
