Sunset gloaming from Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay

I’m not sure if this picture is of the sunset or the gloaming after the sunset, as the clouds on the horizon prevented me from seeing the sun setting. Just a few minutes before I could still see the sun above the clouds while walking through the dunes. Still, the colours in the sky and clouds were beautiful.
