A look back after watching an April sunset from Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. The last light of the gloaming is illuminating the sky and just about the dunes next to the path.

The beautiful light of the gloaming just after sunset, here seen over Machir Bay in April 2024, watched from Kilchoman beach. Some low clouds on the horizon, illuminated by the sun from below the horizon. Also note the plane high up in the sky on the top left, probably on its way to America.

The sunset wasn’t terribly exciting (notice the clouds on the horizon), but at least the gloaming as seen from Four Winds turned out rather nice with some beautiful colours. The view is north west with Lag Mhòr on the left and the Currie Sands at Claddach in the middle distance towards the right.
