A June evening on the west coast of Islay, looking out over the Atlantic from Four Winds. The low sun creating some beautiful golden light with the sunset not far away. Frenchman’s Rocks just visible in the middle distance on the right.

Following on from the June sunset from Four Winds on the Rhinns of Islay this is how looked not long after the sunset. It’s even more difficult now, but if you look very closely you can just pick out the Currie Sands towards the right in the middle distance.

I really like the light and colours of the gloaming, I think it’s often nicer than the sunset light. What do you think?
