Welcome to the Darker Skies Blog

Darker Skies was launched in August 2009 and could be described a more personal, informal photoblog.

Darker Skies was originally established to cover those darker, dramatic styles of colour and monochrome photography that I love so much.

However, over the years the site has gradually taken on a role of its own as a photo scrapbook, mobile blogging platform and photoblog.

The photography podcast also has its main links page based on this site.

Runners taking part in the Islay Marathon - Sunday 8th September 2019. The 26.2 mile route started at Portnahaven and finished at Port Ellen. It looked like the ideal marathon for those, like me, who don't like crowds of runners around them when they run :) #scotland #islay #marathon #running #runners #portcharlotte

The ruins at Finlaggan: the ancient seat of the Lords of the Isles and of Clan Donald - Islay. #scotland #islay #finlaggan #history #archeology #lordoftheisles #travel

Getting to Finlaggan was a little wet. Through the reeds there was a walkway, however, rain had filled Loch Fingallan and flooded the path just before the walkway started. Wellies were the best option. I decided to wade through in my walking boots and let my feet get wet. The water came up to ankle depth in the shallows! :) #scotland #islay #finlaggan #history #loch

Finlaggan with the Paps of Jura on the horizon. Finlaggan was home to the Lords of the Isles who, at their height, were the greatest landowners and most powerful lords in Britain after the Kings of England and Scotland. #scotland #islay #history #jura #papsofjura #finlaggan
