I think the age of standing stone circles give them that peaceful atmosphere, the thoughts of people in a bygone age creating them with just a few simple implements. Another interesting video despite the chilly weather so thanks for your work in filming it.
Nice to see u back at the Callanish stones.... Love it there, macial place ....they were the inspiration behind the design of my garden along with the clava cairns...ull know what I mean... Nice memories thanks
Very cool! I also felt like a "lie in" but got out of bed to watch your video cast on a big tv, with breakfast. Well worth getting up for! Hope you feel better!
Thank you Don - that's lovely!
5:21 Camera: "Wait wait! You left me behind!!"
Hope you are feeling better. It is awful to be ill on a holiday. What blows me away is that you can still walk up and touch most of these ruins. Not so here is the US. The powers that be like to fence things off here and keep visitors at a distance (and we have nothing as old as that!). Thanks again for a fascinating little video. Looking forward to next week.
Such a shame that everything is hidden and fenced away in the US. It's so nice to be able to see and touch these old historical monuments. Thanks again Gisele
U.S. is so messed that you can't tell any people of this younger generation about about the importance and significance of any historical site without them spray painting on them or destroying them.
Kim, you always astound me with the super pictures that you take... I'm very envious of you... Lovely Vlog - thanks for making this so interesting...
Loving the videos, thanks for taking me along ATB Glen
As always you never disappoint with great images ! Can't wait for the next episode!
Thank you very much Charles :)
Great video Kim. Those stones are really fascinating & those images you took, really creates the mood - very atmospheric! And how bizarre how fast the light was sweeping across the land, quite a spectacle to see for sure. The lesser visited parts of the stones are still very interesting to see, what an amazing landscape!
great blog again Kim
Callanish is on the "to do" list for sure. These standing monoliths emanate mystery and intrigue in their very essence. They conjure up so many questions. Loved the images as well. Was going to say the old tumble down croft in the distance looked worth an explore but looks like you are visiting another one in the next episode.
That is a place I would really love to get to some day. They say that the stones are lined up with Clisham Mountain on Harris. My last name being Clisham is what holds my interest in the site.
very pleasant
great video we enjoyed very much … :-))
I hope you are feeling better, that was an awesome video, I must come and visit your country sometime, there is so much landscape stuff photograph. Thanks for such a great video.
Thanks Again Marvin - hope you make it here one day :)
Great video Kim! Subbed and looking forward to the next!
Thank you Garrick and welcome to the journey!
Interesting location, nice one Kim, hope you are feeling better 😷😷👷
Thanks Mark, I am :)
I did not know that you have an older Stonehenge!!! I loved all the images. I loved how you showed us the movement of the light 😀
We sure do and thank you :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Scotland has hundreds of stone circles.
Those stones look like they could be some time of ancient clock or sundial
Excellent. Had a lie in. Turned on pc to accompany tea and toast. Watched video about someone who had a lie in. I feel quite virtuous now - but I have to say, the rest of my morning is going to be warmer than yours! Unfortunately, it won't be as uplifting...
Thanks for the video. Pretty inspiring
I would like to know if you please.. how do the light move that fast at this site? Was it before the sunset.. or was it due to a moving cloud up there reflecting a shadow?
It was the clouds moving fast in the wind
Nice video. One thought that occurred to me: are any of the standing stones situated so you could get a good nighttime composition with the Milky Way behind them? I think that might be quite impressive, especially if you used "light painting" on the stones themselves.
Yes, I've seen many photographs that others have done just as you suggest. It's a wonderful place for astrophotography. It's very rare to get a clear sky over there though but it does happen...occasionally :)
Hi Kim, some lovely footage there - would you allow us to use the video of the stones in a music video? We would credit and link etc of course. Best wishes.
Pleased to see the rain stopped for you.......windy or what !! hope you got at least one good shot..loved the vlog......Martin ................( tmhphotography.co.uk )
Hi Kim, I love this video! It’s probably because I live in callanish 😁
Ps you are a brilliant photographer👌😁 I only just started watching your videos and they are really good. Sorry about the Hebridean weather.😂
Thank you very much Katie. Were hoping to come to Lewis again this year (if not next). We love it over there.
That would be good wants the restrictions are lifted 😁
I would love to see you when you come up-whenever that will be!
@@katiemackenzie1390 feel free to follow me on Instagram if you have it so we can keep in touch
My God Kim, how do you find these places? Thank you for sharing :-)
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice one Kim. I want to go now. What are the pods called I need to tread your steps for sure next year
Callanish Camping Pods. Feel free to mention me if you do go. The owner has used one of my videos to advertise them :) They are also just a 10min walk from the stones. Stunning location.
@@kimgrantphotography there is another way up that is a lot quicker 😁😊
This is a nice spot for infrared and ultraviolet photography, as well. But in any case it is better to wait for moments when busloads of tourists are not there before starting to shoot. And avoid shooting toward the clutter on the north side of the site.
The stones are nice to visit and amazing how old they are. Also visited the other sites but the thing that struck me when visiting the island is the number of old empty farm houses. Ghosts of an era long gone by. Looking forward to heading back up maybe later this month or further into winter.
They sure are and yes there are many abandoned houses. Such a shame but so interesting also. Many are being bought and renovated. Incredibly interesting place.
Hey Kim, You don't need to apologise for the sound quality because the wind noise actually makes the viewer feel like they're there. It would be weird seeing your hair going crazy if we couldn't hear the wind. Great video.
Nice to hear this Andy! Thank you :)

We do know the purpose of the stones. Unfortunately mainstream sources walk in darkness.
Nice video, i liked it....but I'm pretty much sure that it is not the light which was moving, rather it's the clouds which were moving faster and u were in the cloud's shadow while you were vlogging.
It is the light the stones were put here purposely
Its all about you.
These stones are conglomerates of *Mudfossils* , once living, breathing, moving creatures. The soft tissues are preserved in brine, the teeth and bones are dissolved. (See "Mudfossil University" for the chemistry.)
They can be better observed if the internal filters are removed from a camera. !!!
um..I thought they were Lewisian gneiss..

Sounds very logical to me Kim.
you talk too much,
