Starry night sky over Loch Indaal from Ballitarsin, Isle of Islay

The counterpart to the starry night sky over Ballitarsin, the view out over Loch Indaal from it. Plenty of stars up in the night sky, you can just about make out the Milky Way. The lights of three villages in the distance, Bowmore and behind it Port Charlotte on the left and Bruichladdich on the right. A car driving past lighting up the single track road below. Something I’d usually avoid in a starry night picture, but I think here it enhances it.

Having walked out earlier these two dogs were later seen returning along Kilchoman beach in the November gloaming after sunset.
