The start to a beautiful day on Islay and Jura in mid April, looking East towards the Paps of Jura from the top of the hill at Kilchoman. I was on my way to Port Askaig to catch the first morning ferry to Jura for a walk to the Corryvreckan whirlpool.
As there is usually a breeze going Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay is a great place to fly a kite. This girl was flying a kite shaped like a bird of prey.
After the winter storms hitting the west coast of Islay in the winter 2014/2015 the wreck in Machir Bay is the most exposed I can remember, a lot of sand having been washed away. On an April morning a frayed roped was washed up close to it, providing some colour to the scene.
