A view from Kilchoman leaving on a late November morning. In the foreground the houses at Rockside with Loch Gorm behind. On the horizon is Ben More (966m, the only island Munro outside of Skye), nicely visible on this clear morning.

Waves running out around Carraig Chomain on Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay

Out on Kilchoman beach near the southern end of Machir Bay a day before a storm arrived. Waves are running out on the beach around the rocky outcrop of Carraig Chomain, some dark clouds overhead, but also some brightness over the crags.
