Picture of a break in the clouds over a wide coastal landscapeWhen I took this picture a few years ago it had been cloudy and rainy on Islay for several days, hence the title of a welcome cloud break. The view is from the High Road between Port Ellen and Bowmore, overlooking Laggan Bay with the Rhinns of Islay in the distance.
