June gloaming from Four Winds (2), Isle of Islay

Following on from the June sunset from Four Winds on the Rhinns of Islay this is how looked not long after the sunset. It’s even more difficult now, but if you look very closely you can just pick out the Currie Sands towards the right in the middle distance.

I really like the light and colours of the gloaming, I think it’s often nicer than the sunset light. What do you think?

Dogs are welcome at the Currie Sands beach on the Rhinns of Islay. The gate has seen better days and needs a bit of care when opening, but that’s also part of it’s charm. Picture taken on an overcast day in June 2024.
