Some great contrasts, dark and light with rain showers moving through. A rainbow formed as some bright sunshine broke through the clouds over Jura and the Sound of Jura during a ferry crossing to Islay. A bit blown out on the brighter side, but I decided to share anyway.

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)
