An October sunset watched from Kilchoman beach on a partially cloudy evening on Islay. We are looking out over Machir Bay with waves rolling in from the Atlantic. If you look closely you can make out some Geese flying in the distance just left of centre.

A cloudy October afternoon on the west coast of Islay at Saligo Bay. The view is from the top of the highest dune, looking down on the beach with some rocks in the sand and the headland in the middle distance. Behind it the sun is just breaking through the clouds, sending some dramatic rays down on to the Atlantic.
