Rainy night arrival in Port Ellen, Isle of Islay

A dark November evening arrival in Port Ellen on a rainy day. The rain was lashing down, but I still wanted to try to take some pictures. I noticed the bright lamps on the side of the ferry illuminated the rain brightly, the relatively slow shutter speed made the rain look like long strings hanging in the air.
