An accidental picture, taken by unintentionally pressing the shutter button while out walking on the beach in Saligo Bay. Decided to not just delete it and instead just share it here. Somehow I like it, the footprints and other textures in the sand in mild sunlight.

Slightly different angle, but the same rocks as in the view with the Paps of Jura. This time the background is provided by the Lochindaal lighthouse.
