A November morning on the west coast of Islay, some varied and dramatic colourful clouds over Kilchoman beach and Machir Bay. A plane to/from (can’t remember which way it flew) America passing overhead, leaving its contrail.

While out on a long walk on the Big Strand I was lucky enough to arrive at Islay International Airport just at the moment the service plane from Glasgow arrived. Here it is approaching over the Big Strand to land at the runway to the right.

You might have to look closer, but you can spot the morning service plane to Islay in the middle of the sky over the Kilchoman dunes and low hills on the Rhinns of Islay
