Close wave splash in Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

Close wave splash in Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

I was slightly nervous waiting to take this picture, as of course the waves were unpredictable and I didn’t want to get me and more importantly my camera soaked with salt water. But I managed to stay dry and get this shot of a wave rolling up the beach in Saligo Bay and breaking over the rocks near the southern end, throwing spray high up in the air.

A beautiful June evening on the west coast of Islay, looking north from the southern end of Saligo Bay. A well known rock formation visible in the distance. The dunes stretching out on the right with the beautiful beach below. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic under the blue sky with a cloud bank moving in from the west.

June gloaming from Four Winds, Isle of Islay

The sunset wasn’t terribly exciting (notice the clouds on the horizon), but at least the gloaming as seen from Four Winds turned out rather nice with some beautiful colours. The view is north west with Lag Mhòr on the left and the Currie Sands at Claddach in the middle distance towards the right.
