Kilchoman beach in April morning mist and light, Isle of Islay

An April morning on the west coast of Islay, out for a walk down Kilchoman beach. Some morning mist over Machir Bay towards the south, while some mild low morning sun from the east is lighting up parts of the beach.

Gloaming over Machir Bay with a passing plane, Isle of Islay

The beautiful light of the gloaming just after sunset, here seen over Machir Bay in April 2024, watched from Kilchoman beach. Some low clouds on the horizon, illuminated by the sun from below the horizon. Also note the plane high up in the sky on the top left, probably on its way to America.

Green rocks at Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

A view from the southern end of Saligo Bay, next to where Saligo River flows into the Atlantic. Green(ish) rocks, I believe from some algae, stretch along the shore in the April Islay sunshine.
