While the regular Jura ferry was away for repairs/ maintenance in April 2023 the MV James took over to ferry vehicles and passengers across the Sound of Islay. Here she is at the pier in Port Askaig.
Mainly picked this picture for the flying sparks and their reflection on the water. Taken back in 2007 when the old pier at Port Askaig was being demolished during the expansion and rebuilding of the pier and harbour facilities at Port Askaig.
A look back from the Islay ferry arriving in Port Askaig, looking at the trees on the hillside just south of Dunlossit House. The mild June evening sun is just reaching over the hill, lighting up the trees in some beautiful mild light.
