A very close look on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay, some disturbed sand with a shell in the April sunshine.

Trying to find a different perspective of the wreck of the Patti on Kilchoman beach. For this view I went down to beach level, below some of the remains of the wreck. Also quite like the reflection of the wreck mirroring in the water. Taken in April 2024.

A slightly wider view of the cargo ship passing East Rathlin lighthouse, seen across the North Channel from the Mull of Oa on Islay. The eastern end of Rathlin with the lighthouse on the right. Behind it the mainland. And if you look closely you can spot two birds on the left edge of the picture.
