A view north from Port Askaig on a mostly overcast June late afternoon. A sailing yacht off Bunnahabhain Bay, not sure if it came out of the bay or from further north. Rhuvaal lighthouse visible in the distance, also if you look closely you can make out Colonsay on the horizon.

The counterpart to the Bunnahabhain view from the veranda panorama from a visit in April, this is the same view on a mostly grey, dull and dreich November 2023 afternoon. The Paps of Jura and the rest of Jura have disappeared. Sgarbh Breac only just recognisable on the left. No chance of spotting Colonsay, let alone Mull.

On many (most?) days the view from the veranda at Bunnahabhain is much more exciting, but on the day I took this picture the view was of basically, nothing.
