A view of the Port Ellen Maltings from the ferry arriving on Islay. Two visiting sailing yachts are moored in the bay. Also visible the old warehouses and remaining buildings of the long closed Port Ellen distillery. This is an older picture, the low chimneys have since been replaced by a much higher one to reduce the smoke going into the surrounding houses.

Not the clearest picture, but I love the light in this view. I took it with one of my first digital cameras many years ago, which is of course no match to today’s models. This was from the evening ferry to Islay, if memory serves me right on a wonderful April evening. Laphroaig distillery in the evening light, and yes, I’m enjoying a wee dram while writing this.
