Waves at Sunset in Machir Bay (1), Isle of Islay

Image

Picture of waves breaking at sunset on a beachA June sunset in Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay. At that time of year the sun sets so far north west that it sets behind the low hills in the north of the bay, behind Coull Point. Still a beautiful view, this picture is from a day where it rained all day and the clouds suddenly broke up for 30 minutes at sunset.

Picture of a panoramic view from the entrance to a beach and bayA panoramic view from the dunes at the entrance to Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay. The main path is just to the left, but this path provides a much better first view of the beach. The burn coming down from Kilchoman on the right. Taken on a beautiful morning in November 2012.

Some very heavy rain had just stopped and the clouds started to break while some of the rain water was still running down the sides of the road.
