A November morning on the west coast of Islay, some varied and dramatic colourful clouds over Kilchoman beach and Machir Bay. A plane to/from (can’t remember which way it flew) America passing overhead, leaving its contrail.

Out on Kilchoman beach in the afternoon during a storm in late November 2025. Lots of sea foam washed up on the beach, sometimes blown around by a wind gust. Dark and dramatic clouds overhead, some light from the sun behind them breaking through.

A view from the road between Kilchoman and Saligo on a beautiful November 2025 morning. Some colourful clouds in the mild morning light in the sky, the Paps of Jura nicely visible on the horizon.
