Spotted in the Sound of Islay from a passing ferry, the Black Rocks buoy near the southern end. Looking quite dirty compared to another time I photographed it, mainly because some Shags seem to have taken up residence on it.
A view of the MV Loch Ranza leaving Gigha for the mainland. Seen from Port na Gallochoille on a June early evening. Notice the buoy and the cormorants/shag (not sure what they are) on the rocks, one drying its wings.
A view from the arriving Islay ferry, the well known Port Ellen buoy right in front of us. On the shore the old Port Ellen distillery and maltings. On the right a motorboat we spotted earlier.
