Sanaigmore Bay June late evening panorama, Isle of Islay

A June evening in the north of Islay, on the eastern side of Sanaigmore Bay. The panoramic view covers the beach and the dramatic cliffs to the west, all on a June late evening close to the summer solstice. We had gone out to watch the sunset, hoping to see it set north of the headland, but unfortunately the clouds thwarted us.

A calm June early morning in Port Ellen. Having dropped off my sister at the ferry to the mainland and watched her cruising away I briefly stopped at Port Ellen Marina. The water was beautifully calm, hardly a ripple in sight.
