Taken about 5-10 minutes before the full rainbow appeared over Port Ellen, a panoramic view of Port Ellen Marina and Loch Leòdamais from the pier in the mild June evening light on Islay.
Sometimes a delay can have unexpected benefits: Arriving with the MV Finlaggan for a June holiday on Islay the mezzanine car deck got stuck, delaying me getting off the ferry. When I finally got off I spotted an old friend and stopped to have a chat with him. While we were chatting the clouds broke up and shortly after he had to leave this beautiful full rainbow appeared over Port Ellen. In a way it’s even more than a full rainbow, as it was reflected/mirrored in the calm water.
Seen from the incoming Islay evening ferry arriving in Port Ellen, some very dark clouds moving in over the Oa. Carraig Fhada lighthouse left of centre, Kilnaughton Bay towards the right.
