A view from the arriving Islay ferry on a November early evening in Port Ellen. The pier with the “barley boat” berthed on the left side, some of the houses around the loch in the background.

One of the several waterfalls cascading down the cliff face on the southern side of the beach at Kilchiaran Bay. While most of it seems to run down the right hand side the water coming from a larger stream of water at the top is breaking up into a wider waterfall as it runs down the hillside.

Starting the return leg of my walk across the Rhinns of Islay between Port Charlotte and Kilchiaran I noticed some nice mild sunshine on the chapel ruin. The wall and the weathered old sign provided a nice frame for the picture.
