Beautiful clear June night sky, Isle of Islay

Picture of a bright night sky in JuneOn a clear June night on Islay while no midnight sun it doesn’t really get dark, especially when the picture is taken with a long exposure looking north. This is a view from near Kilchoman Church, looking towards Saligo and Loch Gorm. Low mist was forming over Loch Gorm. Only a few stars can be seen in the sky as it was still too light even well past midnight.

An older picture from a few years ago from a family visit to Islay. My sister sitting on the rocks in Saligo Bay taking pictures, if memory serves me right of Gannets diving into the sea to catch fish. Behind her our late mother, this visit turned out to be her last.
