Big rock in the sand on Saligo beach, Isle of Islay

A big rock (or does this qualify as a boulder already?) in the sand of the beach at Saligo. The wind has created an interesting pattern around it, having blown away the sand in one direction but not the other. Taken on an overcast September 2021 day.
