A memory from a stopover on a journey to Islay, a sailing yacht entering the lock at Cairnbaan, one of the many locks in the Crinan Canal in some April sunshine.

A nice stop on a journey to or from Islay, Loch a’ Bharain just off the Crinan Canal in Argyll. I’m not sure if it has a name and if yes what it is, but there is a beautiful tree covered small island at the northern side of the loch. Great view in the mild April evening sunshine
