Starting the return leg of my walk across the Rhinns of Islay between Port Charlotte and Kilchiaran I noticed some nice mild sunshine on the chapel ruin. The wall and the weathered old sign provided a nice frame for the picture.

Especially after some wet weather there are a good number of waterfalls at Kilchiaran, running down the cliff face at the southern side of the beach. This is the bottom step of one of the small waterfalls, falling into what almost looks like a rock basin.

Probably not something most people would take a picture of, but I somehow like the orange colour against the blue/grey water of West Loch Tarbert. Noticed this wind sock during a departure from Kennacraig for Islay. Interestingly from what I understand wind is actually more dangerous for (modern) ferries than waves. Waves they can quite easily withstand, but strong winds can be a problem in particular when they are berthing. A strong gust can easily move a ferry and push it against the pier or linkspan, causing damage.
