A view from the Kilberry Road along Loch Caolisport, Eilean Tràighe off what I think is a tombolo. If you look closely you can make out one of the Islay ferries on the horizon.

Kilchoman beach in April morning mist and light, Isle of Islay

An April morning on the west coast of Islay, out for a walk down Kilchoman beach. Some morning mist over Machir Bay towards the south, while some mild low morning sun from the east is lighting up parts of the beach.

The beautiful light of the gloaming just after sunset, here seen over Machir Bay in April 2024, watched from Kilchoman beach. Some low clouds on the horizon, illuminated by the sun from below the horizon. Also note the plane high up in the sky on the top left, probably on its way to America.
