Low clouds hanging over Loch Indaal, Isle of Islay

It isn’t always sunny on Islay, sometimes it rains, sometimes it’s heavy low clouds hanging over the island for hours on end. Here seen from Ballitarsin on an October morning. You can still spot the Bruichladdich warehouses on the other side of the loch. Oh, and the next morning it was sunny again.

Sun rays behind Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

A cloudy October afternoon on the west coast of Islay at Saligo Bay. The view is from the top of the highest dune, looking down on the beach with some rocks in the sand and the headland in the middle distance. Behind it the sun is just breaking through the clouds, sending some dramatic rays down on to the Atlantic.
