A view taken while standing in the waves in Machir Bay as they roll out on Kilchoman beach. In front of us the rocks at Carraig Chomain, my sister Imke standing behind them to the right. We were on our way back after I had gone for a careful swim, as I was still in the wetsuit I decided to walk back in the shallow water and take a few pictures from a different perspective.
A regular view for over a decade now, the Calmac ferry MV Finlaggan berthing in Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay (although with the new ferries coming on line hopefully over the next 6-9 months this will probably be over soon). Picture taken mid June 2025 when I was picking up my sister Imke from the ferry.
Admittedly this could be somewhere out on the open sea, you just have to believe me it’s really in the north of the Sound of Islay. Not visible in the picture are Islay on the left and Jura on the right. It’s the Fleur de Lampaul approaching in the distance, seen from Port Askaig.
