On the return leg from a walk up to the old radar station near Kilchiaran. The low November afternoon sun brings some nice golden light, reflecting on the water of Machir Bay and the wet golden sand of Kilchoman beach.

A late November visit to the Singing Sands near Port Ellen on a clear day despite it being mostly cloudy. When you look closely you will notice Kintyre with the Mull of Kintyre on the left and more importantly Ireland, about 25ish miles away across the North Channel, in the distance on the right.

I thought these three sheep were quite photogenic, I hope you agree? Spotted on the crags below the old radar station from the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track.
