Rainy day in Machir Bay, Isle of Islay

Picture of a beach in a bay on a rainy day, a group of people in rain jackets on the beachMost of the pictures I post here are sunny or if they are cloudy then at least it’s dry. But it does at times rain on Islay, so here’s a picture from just such weather. Some people are still visiting the beach in Machir Bay even in the rain.

The wide sandy beach is stretching out in front of us, behind it in the distance the hills and crags around Kilchoman. Rain moving in from the west, I think I had to run to avoid getting wet.
