Probably one of the most amazing sunrises I’ve ever witnessed on Islay, here seen from Kilchoman on an April morning in 2015. I was up early leaving for the first ferry to Jura for an amazing walk to the Corryvreckan whirlpool.

There are days when the views can be a bit limited. Like on this ferry crossing to Islay in April 2019. A very hazy day, the Paps of Jura were only just visible as an outline through the haze after leaving West Loch Tarbert.

No idea what kind of rocks these are, but I found them quite interesting, some nice shapes and waves in them. Found on a beach on the west side of Loch Gruinart at Ardnave. Mala Bholsa visible in the distance in the centre, one of the Paps of Jura towards the right.
