Effie works from sketches, painting and photos for her chosen pieces. However there are many places, topics and views which lend themselves more to being photos, rather than being suitable for a textile project. In this gallery are a few of those and they will be added to from time to time.

In September and October on Lewis the colours on the moors change subtly to a range of velvety soft pastel shades.
Miles of pale sandy beaches stretch all along the west coast of the islands. This one is in Harris.
The long dry months can produce brilliant colours in the heather, which can stretch for miles along the moors.
Wild flower, or machair as it is known, is famous all over these islands behind the long sandy beaches.

The Lewis moors are rich in colour, shape and form, cut into by multifarious streams and rivers.
Houses in a shaft of Hebridean sunlight at lambing time.
A small group of the famous Callanish Stones a strong feature of the Lewis landscape. Older than Stonehenge in England and the pyramids in Egypt.

Mellow yellows.
Everywhere these lichens appear.
Sun on water - always engaging.
Ferries are a wonderful way to move around the Islands.
The Butt of Lewis sports many sheep apparently comfortable on the edge of the cliffs.
The inky shades of the water are hard to believe without seeing for yourself.
The Lewis moors are covered with heather in late summer.
