Caraidh is Scottish Gaelic for "fishing weir" and you see them all around the shores of Skye at low tide, even though no one but me seems to notice them, or know anything much about their history. So after searching on-line for info on these particular Caraidh around Skye, some of which are several hundred yards long, all I have found so far, is that it is known that Native American Indians were also using a similar type of structure in the US from around 3,000BC. So maybe these could even be of a similar age to that or older, who knows?
Shot this a couple of nights ago when we went out for an evening walk and it had been one of those mucky, blue hazy types of day, you know the type, sort of flat and smoggy and not at all photogenic. But then at the last minute as the sun starting to go down, the sky sort of lit up in a weird sodium light type of coloured diffused glow, which I quickly realised after a couple of shots, meant I could shoot this particular Caraidh with a long exposure and with the sun still fully in the frame and not have to worry about lens flare.
Anyhoo, I hope you like it and sorry for the boring history lesson
