A June evening in the north of Islay, on the eastern side of Sanaigmore Bay. The panoramic view covers the beach and the dramatic cliffs to the west, all on a June late evening close to the summer solstice. We had gone out to watch the sunset, hoping to see it set north of the headland, but unfortunately the clouds thwarted us.
