A June evening on the west coast of Islay, a very low tide in Saligo Bay. My sister Imke took this picture with me walking out on the beach in the distance towards the left (also taking pictures)

That’s my sister Imke arriving on Islay for her June 2025 visit. We were lucky and she was the first foot passenger to get off, so I could take this picture of her emerging from the MV Finlaggan.
