Picture of a distant mountain in the evening lightA view from the RSPB bird hide at Gruinart in November 2014. For a brief moment Ben More on distant Mull was visible in a reddish hue, some time around sunset I think. The darker stretch in the middle distance is Colonsay.

The hill on the other side of the beach is Carnan Eoin (143m), the highest hill on Colonsay. In the distance on the left you can just make out the Isle of Mull.
