Ungeshader

My trip took me to Ungeshader were the remains of derelict houses, only 3 used as holiday cottages for a period of the year, illustrate the decline in population in Uig very well. I spent the day by the old anchorage roaming among seaweed covered rocks, looking out towards the range of the mountains at the end of Loch Roag. The sun moved in and out of big clouds which were continuously changing their shape and color. The majestic scenery was dominated by the rusty colors of the seaweed, a windswept Rowan tree on the edge of an old walled enclosure, the greenness of the pastures and the dazzling light on the sea. When the wind seemed to have dropped the rocks and hills on the other side were reflected in a fine dramatic setting.
