The sunset wasn’t the most exciting, but the gloaming after it turned out rather nice. Above the Saligo dunes some dark blue sky, out on the horizon over the Atlantic the distant clouds turned into a dramatic fire of reds and oranges. It didn’t last long, but looked amazing while it lasted.

A June evening at Sanaigmore Bay in the north west of Islay. We had walked out to the north east for the sunset, although that was partially thwarted by clouds on the horizon. On the way back I looked back over the bay for this view of the gloaming after the sunset.
