Wide Saligo Bay panorama June 2024, Isle of Islay

A beautiful June evening on the west coast of Islay, looking north from the southern end of Saligo Bay. A well known rock formation visible in the distance. The dunes stretching out on the right with the beautiful beach below. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic under the blue sky with a cloud bank moving in from the west.

The sunset wasn’t terribly exciting (notice the clouds on the horizon), but at least the gloaming as seen from Four Winds turned out rather nice with some beautiful colours. The view is north west with Lag Mhòr on the left and the Currie Sands at Claddach in the middle distance towards the right.

A view north west from Four Winds, looking across to the small but beautiful Currie Sands at Claddach. The Atlantic stretching out to the horizon in background. Also notice the interesting wave splash on the rocks in the water, I believe caused by a wave rolling back from the main rocks.
