The Sun had just risen above the Kilchoman Crags on a beautiful October morning on Islay when I managed to capture this view of the ruin of Kilchoman Church from the air. All the roof trusses have fallen in, you can see some of them lying inside the church. In the background on the right the Kilchoman House Cottages. In the far distance towards the left you can just make out the Paps of Jura, a bit closer on the far left Loch Gorm.
A view from the Kilchoman crags, looking across Loch Gorm to Carnduncan. In the distance Colonsay with Oronsay, behind it the Isle of Mull. The Munro Ben More on Mull on the left.

After a beautifully sunny day a few clouds gathered from the west to make this sunset quite spectacular. We aimed towards Machir Bay but upon reaching a high point overlooking Loch Gorm we decided to go no further and settled down for almost an hour of Nature’s artistry.
Thank you Keith!
