Arriving at the Singing Sands near Port Ellen on a November early afternoon, the Sun briefly breaking through on a mostly cloudy day. If you look closely you can also make out Ireland on the horizon across the North Channel.

A view from the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track on a November 2025 morning, looking out over Machir Bay and Kilchoman beach with the dunes on the right.

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.
