Seen from Bowmore pier across Loch Indaal, the new warehouses of Bruichladdich distillery at the southern side of the village (the original warehouses are behind the distillery, not in the picture to the right). I believe trees have been planted around them to make them less visible once the trees have grown up.

Admittedly not a view you’d get with the bare eye, I used a fairly strong telephoto lens for this picture: The Paps of Jura (Beinn an Oir, Beinn a’Chaolais, Beinn Shiantaid) seen across Loch Indaal from Bowmore pier on a June afternoon.
