A different view of the well know Lochindaal lighthouse near Port Charlotte, made by the “old” Persabus Pottery. You could put a tealight or small candle inside to light it. Sadly mine has since broken and as the pottery isn’t making these any more I haven’t been able to replace it.

They also made a similar one of the Round Church in Bowmore, something I still have and treasure.

A June evening on White Hart beach (at the end of an Islay Beach Rugby tournament), looking out over Kilnaughton Bay with some interesting clouds in the distance, the evening sun still fairly high in the sky on the right.

A sunny but hazy April afternoon on Islay’s neighbour Jura. The view is from the hills somewhere near Lagg, looking out over the Sound of Jura. Towards the left is Skervuile lighthouse, behind it slightly to the right a fishing boat. In the distance we first see the Isle of Gigha with Kintyre behind it in the haze.
