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.

A June late evening view from the southern end of Gigha, looking over to the Mull of Kintyre in the fading last light of the gloaming.

Having returned to the cottage after watching the summer solstice sunset on Gigha a last look out of the window. The crescent moon and a star in the fading very last light of the gloaming over Achamore Gardens.
