After an overcast November day on Islay I went out for a beach walk on Kilchoman beach late in the afternoon. While there was some brightness on the horizon little did I know what I was going to see about 30-45 minutes later…
A November afternoon on the west coast of Islay, sunset approaching rapidly. The sky and the crags are reflected on the wet sand of Kilchoman beach. The setting Sun is breaking through a gap in the clouds, reflecting on the water.
A cloudy November afternoon on the west coast of Islay. After an earlier sunny afternoon I had hoped for a nice sunset, but when I arrived at Kilchoman beach it had clouded over, in particular towards the horizon. Still, I managed to catch a brief glimpse on the setting Sun at the horizon over Machir Bay, briefly colouring the clouds red before it disappeared. Some nice waves were breaking close to the beach, throwing spray high into the air.
