Big skies and breaking waves in Machir Bay, Isle of Islay

Out for a walk on Kilchoman beach and on to the old Kilchiaran radar station on a beautiful bright November morning with huge big skies over Machir Bay. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking as they approach the beach.

A view from the outpost south of the old Kilchiaran radar station, looking over Kilchoman beach, the crags and the old station with the modern telecoms masts.

At the southern end of Kilchoman beach on a sunny November morning. The crags behind us cast long shadows over the beach, although most of the dunes are in the sunshine.
