Spotted from the northern end of Gigha on a beautiful June evening, the MV Lord of the Isles on her way to Islay with the Paps of Jura as the backdrop (The LotI was the relief ferry while the MV Finlaggan was away for her annual overhaul in June 2023).
Spotted this small murmuration of Starlings in the evening sky while walking out to watch the summer solstice sunset over Islay and Jura from Gigha. So I took a picture of them under the colourful late evening clouds.
It’s often worth staying a bit longer after sunset to enjoy the beautiful mild colours of the gloaming, the last light after sunset. This is the gloaming after the summer solstice sunset over Islay and Jura seen from the west coast of Gigha. Also notice the crescent moon which has appeared in the sky towards the left.
