A view from the only ferry that left Islay during a stormy November weekend with storm Bert. Looking back at Carraig Fhada lighthouse with the cottages next to (and above) it. Waves breaking over the rocks around the lighthouse.

A view from an Islay ferry to the mainland on a stormy November weekend during a short calmer weather window. During that window it wasn’t as wild as I had seen it at other times, but there were still quite a few people out watching the ferry leave in the choppy seas.

A June evening on White Hart beach (at the end of an Islay Beach Rugby tournament), looking out over Kilnaughton Bay with some interesting clouds in the distance, the evening sun still fairly high in the sky on the right.
