Picture of a lighthouse in the failing evening light with its light flashingGuarding the southern end of the Sound of Islay, McArthur’s Head lighthouse flashing its light in the gloaming of an April evening. May be not the clearest picture, but I’m quite pleased that I managed to capture it at all, the light flashing, handheld from the moving ferry.
