Spotted in the Sound of Islay from a passing ferry, the Black Rocks buoy near the southern end. Looking quite dirty compared to another time I photographed it, mainly because some Shags seem to have taken up residence on it.

Beautiful in the shade and in the sun, or a combination of both: Gleann Choireadail at the southern end fo the Sound of Islay, seen here on a beautiful April evening from the ferry.

A panoramic view over the southern end of Kilchoman beach under the steep crags,, seen from just above the dunes. Carraig Chomain just visible right of centre. Machir Bay in the background, stretching to the Atlantic on the west coast of Islay.
