A memory from the Friday evening session of the Islay Sessions 2019 in the bar of the Port Charlotte Hotel. Megan MacDonald and Calum MacCrimmon playing beautiful tunes with other musicians (not in the picture on the other side of the table)

Seen in the November sunset light from Machir Bay, a fence left “floating” in the air at Kilchoman where the dune it was standing on has eroded away.

Admittedly not the greatest picture, but then it was taken with a relatively small lens from a moving boat in bad light. Returning to Craighouse from a RIB trip to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool we spotted this Golden Eagle being pursued by what I believe to be some crows (I think the ones closest to it are two Hooded Crows?) above the Bay of Small Isles.
