Colourful April gloaming from the Saligo dunes, Isle of Islay

The sunset wasn’t the most exciting, but the gloaming after it turned out rather nice. Above the Saligo dunes some dark blue sky, out on the horizon over the Atlantic the distant clouds turned into a dramatic fire of reds and oranges. It didn’t last long, but looked amazing while it lasted.

The waves in Saligo Bay, rolling in from the Atlantic, rarely stop pounding the shore and beach. They also all look different, even though they sometimes look similar. This picture was taken just minutes, maybe seconds from this picture of crashing waves in south Saligo Bay. Similar, but not the same.

Walking through the Kilchoman dunes on a November morning for a walk on Kilchoman beach. Allt Gleann na Ceardaich is snaking through the dunes before running across the beach into Machir Bay and the Atlantic.
