A panoramic view from Four Winds (former Coastguard tower, now a tiny holiday cottage) on a beautiful sunny June afternoon. Stretching out below us is Portnahaven, behind it Port Wemyss. Towards the right Orsay with the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. On the right just visible the southern end of Eilean Mhic Coinnich.
A view from the Mull of Oa to the Rhinns of Islay in April 2024: The Rhinns of Islay lighthouse on Orsay on the left with Port Wemyss on the right.
The counterpart to the starry night sky over Ballitarsin, the view out over Loch Indaal from it. Plenty of stars up in the night sky, you can just about make out the Milky Way. The lights of three villages in the distance, Bowmore and behind it Port Charlotte on the left and Bruichladdich on the right. A car driving past lighting up the single track road below. Something I’d usually avoid in a starry night picture, but I think here it enhances it.
