A dark November afternoon turning to evening, looking down from MV Finlaggan on to the water rushing past while we’re on the way to Islay

A regular view for over a decade now, the Calmac ferry MV Finlaggan berthing in Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay (although with the new ferries coming on line hopefully over the next 6-9 months this will probably be over soon). Picture taken mid June 2025 when I was picking up my sister Imke from the ferry.

Trying to get a different view of the MV Finlaggan arriving in Port Askaig all I managed to find was a small gap in the trees. Not perfect, but I’ll take it.
