Picture of a hazy bay in the morning lightA slightly hazy but also relatively calm November morning in Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay. I like the wide open in this view, at the same time made slightly mysterious through the morning haze and low light. The first new picture on the relaunched blog.

Night Sky at Kilchoman House Cottages, Isle of Islay

Picture of the night sky above a row of cottagesWith very little light pollution the night sky above Islay can be very dramatic. Here’s a view of the stars above Kilchoman House Cottages in November 2012. We switched the outside lights off, but for dramatic effect I quickly walked along the cottages with a torch to illuminate them and the trees outside for a short period. This is the result.
