Sleeping Beauty

Moth's previous 2003 image of Sleeping Beauty (making her look 'too busty') was clearly not taken from the Callanish site. This was – evening of 10th June 2006. I've added the names of the mountains / hills in South Lochs for those with detailed maps of Lewis.

Sleeping Beauty

Moonrise on the morning of Monday June 12th 2006, 12.18 a.m..

The moon is sliding along the body of the Sleeping Beauty as it rises. Photographed from Cnoc an Tursa, immediately to the south of the Callanish Standing Stones. (A magical night, even if the moon disappeared into cloude before it set.)
