McArthur’s Head lighthouse seen from the Islay ferry

A nice view of McArthur’s Head lighthouse from an Islay ferry travelling to Port Askaig, helped by the tele lens bringing it much closer. I quite like the good view of the stairs leading from the lighthouse to the pier at the shore, unfortunately I can’t remember how many steps there are (I’ve climbed it once or twice, not sure)

A view of the lesser known neighbour of Orsay (home to the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse, just visible on the left), the uninhabited Eilean Mhic Coinnich off the Rhinns of Islay near Portnahaven. Seen from the coastal path between Portnahaven and Claddach.

A colourful June sunset viewed from Four Winds above Portnahaven at the southern end of the Rhinns of Islay. The setting sun over the Atlantic creates some beautiful colours in the clouds.
