A closer look at the Loch Indaal lighthouse just outside Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay. The telephoto lens makes it look like the lighthouse is almost standing between the Paps of Jura, in reality they are about 17 miles away.

A view from Port Charlotte pier on a moonlit (not visible in the picture, it was further towards the right/east) night on the Rhinns of Islay. This is the northern end of Port Charlotte with the Rhinns Medical Centre and Daal Terrace. The Loch Indaal lighthouse flashing on the right. A few stars just visible in the moonlit sky, I think that’s the “Big Dipper” constellation you can spot.
