Rainbow over the red Sanaigmore phone box, Isle of Islay
Image
Probably the best known and most photographed red phone box on Islay, the one at the Sanaigmore/ Loch Gorm B8018 road junction. Here I was lucky enough to capture it with a bonus rainbow after a passing rain shower. Carnduncan in the background.
