Picture of footprints on a sandy beach with a lot of small stonesThe ever changing nature of Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay. Here the usually all sandy beach had changed to sand mixed with small stones, visible at low tide. Footsteps of a walker leading us into the picture.
