Spotted while driving from Saligo to Gruinart, a beautiful sunburst over Loch Gorm. I love how the rays spread out over the view with Kilchoman on the left and Saligo on the right, Loch Gorm stretching out across the view.

A November morning walk on Kilchoman beach, clouds moving past rapidly over the Kilchoman dunes and crags. When the sun managed to break through the clouds I managed to take this picture in the wonderful light the low sun through the clouds created.
