Picture of colourful and interestingly shaped clouds during a sunset over the AtlanticWhile I didn’t get to see the actual sunset on this evening in April 2016 I got to watch these fascinating colourful cloud formations over the Atlantic from Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay.

Picture of a view out to sea from a hill, a lighthouse and a warship in the distance A view from An Carn (hill north of Bridgend) north across the dunes at Ardnave looking far out over the Atlantic. On the left is Dubh Artach lighthouse, just right of centre a warship (there was a NATO exercise taking place when I took this picture during the Islay walking week in April 2016) and to the right a distant island. I’m not sure which island this is, I think it might be Tiree.
