Moonrise over Loch Gruinart, Isle of Islay

Image

Picture of a moonrise over a bleak landscapeI’m not entirely sure from where I took this picture, I think either from the RSPB bird hide or the viewing platform at Gruinart. The view is north east over the flats and Loch Gruinart with the Moon rising over the hills. Barnacle Geese lifting off at the loch.
