It’s quite small, but still very beautiful: The small sandy beach near Port na Gallochoille on Islay’s neighbour Gigha. Seen here on a June evening with sunny intervals. Kintyre in the background.

One of the locks on the Crinan Canal in Argyll, water flowing over the gates. Somewhere in the Dunardry area I think. A great stop on a journey to/from Islay, always something to see somewhere.

The Crinan Canal is a nice stop during any journey to/from Islay, even if it’s only to watch a Mallard Duck and its five Ducklings.
