A picture courtesy of my sister Imke, as it’s rather difficult to take a picture of yourself when going for a swim. That’s me going for a short wild swim in shallow waters at the southern end of Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay. As there can be dangerous currents in Machir Bay I made sure I stayed close to the shore and was always able to stand. Still had a lot of fun splashing through the waves in the surf coming in from the Atlantic.

A picture of taking pictures. My sister Imke took this picture of me taking more pictures of the dramatic rocks and beach at Lossit Bay on the west coast of Islay.

A June evening at Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. A very low tide has exposed some rocks not usually visible, while a channel of water juts into the sand. On the horizon some dramatic clouds in front of the Sun, some beautiful light still coming through.
