About this spot
Opened in 1953, the Bernera Bridge (aka Bridge over the Atlantic) provides a connection with mainland Lewis for supplies and commuting. When I first arrived at this photo spot, I was in for a surprise. Instead of the single bridge I'd seen in countless photos, there were two! One is a newer addition, and it hadn't made it into the usual photographer's repertoire yet.
Despite the unexpected bridge, the location still held immense promise. The real magic happened when I ventured uphill on the Great Bernera side and framed the two standing stones in the foreground. The juxtaposition of modern and ancient structures, set against the backdrop of the vast Atlantic Ocean, was simply breathtaking.
