Half Moon over Machir Bay, Isle of Islay

A view over Machir Bay from Kilchoman beach in the gloaming just after sunset, looking south west. Admittedly you have to look closely, but then you’ll spot the half Moon high up in the sky. The crags and hills around Kilchiaran visible in the distance.

Spotted while getting into my car after a visit to Laphroaig distillery. A four engine jet plane passing over Islay very close to the Moon, probably an Airbus A380, Boeing 747-8F/400F or Airbus A340. Thought it looked amazing in the bright blue sky, so I took pictures to share.
