Rainy night arrival in Port Ellen, Isle of Islay

A dark November evening arrival in Port Ellen on a rainy day. The rain was lashing down, but I still wanted to try to take some pictures.

A beautiful and colourful April sunset on the west coast of Islay in Saligo Bay. The sun is just about to disappear in the Atlantic, some colourful light and reflections on the sand of the beach behind the small rocks.
