A beautiful November morning at Loch Indaal, looking across the loch from behind the lighthouse near Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay. Taken just as the sun rose above the clouds on the horizon, as slightly belated sunrise.

Seen from somewhere near the Loch Indaal lighthouse, a view of Port Charlotte pier during a November dawn. While there are clouds in the distance in the south west there is clear sky above, leading to a beautiful bright sunrise later during the morning. Also notice the Mull of Oa in the distance on the left.

A view of Port Charlotte on an overcast November evening from just across the bridge over Abhainn Gearach. Main Street passing the former Port Charlotte distillery warehouses now home to the Youth Hostel and the Islay Natural History Trust. Just down the road the Port Charlotte Hotel. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to catch a clear night during this visit, so it’s just clouds above, not a starry sky.
