November 2025 Saligo Bay panorama, Isle of Islay

A panoramic view in late November 2025 from the dune path leading to the beach in Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic. I quite like the photogenic band of clouds in the distance while there are blue skies above us. The low but still bright afternoon sun on the left providing some beautiful light.

Right after seeing them flying over the RSPB Gruinart car park I watched the Barnacle Geese flying out over the flats before landing for the night.

A view from an Islay ferry from Port Askaig to Kennacraig on a November afternoon. The low sun of an approaching sunset is creating some beautiful clouds over the hills behind McArthur’s Head lighthouse.
