Spotted while getting into my car after a visit to Laphroaig distillery. A four engine jet plane passing over Islay very close to the Moon, probably an Airbus A380, Boeing 747-8F/400F or Airbus A340. Thought it looked amazing in the bright blue sky, so I took pictures to share.

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.
