A ferry crossing to Islay a few years back on a beautiful April evening, the sun setting behind the Sound of Islay between Islay and Jura

A memory from a walk to the far north of Islay with my sister Imke in June 2013. We had walked from Bunnahabbhain along the Sound of Islay to Rhuvaal lighthouse. From the lighthouse we followed the coast west to Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis. After lunch on the beach we continued towards the raised beaches before turning south east and returning to Bunnahabhain over the low hills west of Sgarbh Breac (where I took this picture of my sister enjoying the views over the Sound of Islay and Jura with the Paps of Jura)

I’m not sure if I took this picture of Loch Tarbert on Islay’s neighbour Jura before or after the other version I shared earlier. Either way, I like both versions, taken on a day trip to Jura in November a couple of years ago.
