The beautiful light of the gloaming just after sunset, here seen over Machir Bay in April 2024, watched from Kilchoman beach. Some low clouds on the horizon, illuminated by the sun from below the horizon. Also note the plane high up in the sky on the top left, probably on its way to America.

Another view over the top of the Saligo dunes, almost identical to the other version. A slightly bigger wave splash over the cliffs at the southern end of Saligo Bay. All in some beautiful June evening sunset light.

A slightly different angle to another picture, Orsay with the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. Taking in parts of Port Wemyss and Portnahaven seen from Four Winds on a stunning June evening just before sunset. Possibly the best views I’ve ever experienced after arriving on Islay (I had arrived on the ferry around 45 minutes before enjoying this view).
