Dramatic November light over Bowmore distillery, Isle of Islay

Originally I had come to the top of Loch Indaal to watch geese coming in for the roost. They did come in, although not as good and photogenic as I had hoped. While it was cloudy the vast majority of the time the sun did make a few brief appearances. Here a bright spot appeared in the clouds above Bowmore distillery, reflecting on Loch Indaal

An April view in Bridgend Woods, plenty Bluebells on the ground. In the background the walls along the road between Bridgend and the Rhinns of Islay. Not to forget in the distance the Round Church in Bowmore (admittedly not in focus, but still easily recognisable)

Walking back to my car after visiting Olistadh I enjoyed this nice view of Bowmore. The old centre with the distillery towards the left. The main distillery warehouses and some of the newer houses towards the right.
