A beach scene from Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay, sand from a small ridge crumbling away as water flows past. The ever changing beach scenery, moved by the tides.

Nice old boat at Crinan (Journey to Islay)

The Crinan canal is always a nice stop on a journey to Islay, especially if there’s enough time to go all the way to Crinan. Here’s a nice old wooden boat moored off Crinan on a July late afternoon. I’m not entirely sure, but I think those are Jura (on the left) and Scarba (on the right) in the distance, with the Gulf of Corryvreckan in between.
