A rare sunny interval on Islay in June 2017, time used for a nice walk on Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay. Some driftwood had washed up, providing a nice foreground in a picture of the beach. The heavy clouds in the distance brought a very heavy shower about an hour later…
On a cloudy June morning on Islay the clouds briefly break up over Machir Bay for a glimpse of blue sky.
One of the lowest tides I can recall in Machir Bay, possibly the lowest I’ve ever experienced. On the left the wreck of the Patti sticking out of the sand, I estimate the water was at least 50 metres (one Olympic swimming pool I believe is the standard comparison) away. Normally it’s just a few feet away from the wreck at low tide. Taken on the last day of my June holiday on Islay.
