While the setting sun isn’t visible in the picture (that’s just to the right outside of view) we do get some beautiful sunset light in this view from the Loch Indaal coastal path. The Oa with the American Monument on the Mull of Oa in the distance on the other side of Loch Indaal. Much closer to us the Loch Indaal lighthouse just right of centre.

A November afternoon on the west coast of the Rhinns of Islay, sunset at Kilchiaran. At another time the sun will set behind Kilchiaran Bay, when I took this picture in mid November it sets behind the hills on the Rhinns of Islay. The ruin of Kilchiaran Chapel on the right.

Dramatic clouds over West Loch Tarbert (Journey to Islay)

A memory from a journey to Islay in November 2022. Having arrived at Kennacraig for the ferry to Port Ellen I enjoyed this cloudy yet beautiful down West Loch Tarbert while waiting for the ferry to arrive to take me to Islay. No sight of Islay just yet, but a glimpse of Gigha in the distance.
