A beautiful summer evening at Kilchoman at the west coast of Islay, the low late evening soon to disappear behind Coull for the sunset.

A drone picture from June 2015, taken on a beautiful late evening from Kilchoman just before sunset. Just ahead the Coastguard Cottages towards the right, the reed beds where Corncrakes can often be heard (and with a lot of luck even be seen) stretching out in front and to the right of them. Loch Gorm, Islay’s largest freshwater loch in the distance behind the cottages. Saligo just visible in the distance on the left.

Last seconds of a November sunset at Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

The Islay sunset I watched twice, kind of. First I watched it from the beach, then I ran up to the top of the dunes behind Saligo Bay to watch it again, just catching the last few seconds before the sun disappeared behind the horizon.
