A beautiful moonlit November night on the Rhinns of Islay, looking out over Loch Indaal from Port Charlotte pier. Loch Indaal lighthouse on the left, shining its light out to sea. The silhouettes of the Paps of Jura in the distance on the right. As it was a full Moon night not many stars are visible, but if you look closely you can still spot a few.

Rainy night arrival in Port Ellen, Isle of Islay

A dark November evening arrival in Port Ellen on a rainy day. The rain was lashing down, but I still wanted to try to take some pictures. I noticed the bright lamps on the side of the ferry illuminated the rain brightly, the relatively slow shutter speed made the rain look like long strings hanging in the air.
