On the return leg from a walk up to the old radar station near Kilchiaran. The low November afternoon sun brings some nice golden light, reflecting on the water of Machir Bay and the wet golden sand of Kilchoman beach.

I thought these three sheep were quite photogenic, I hope you agree? Spotted on the crags below the old radar station from the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track.
