Another picture from me going wild swimming in Machir Bay off Kilchoman beach, here my sister Imke captured me splashing around a bit in the waves. In this picture it might look like I’m in deep water, but rest assured I wasn’t. As there can be dangerous currents in Machir Bay I made sure I stayed close to the shore and was always able to stand.

Out on a June late evening walk around sunset on the dunes at the war cemetery. Spotted these interesting clouds over the crags between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran.
