A partially sunny June day on the west coast of Islay, looking out over Machir Bay from Carraig Chomain on Kilchoman beach. Eilean an Tannais-sgeir and Coull Point in the distance on the right.
A view from Bowmore beach across Loch Indaal on a sunny June 2025 afternoon, following a cloudy start to the day. In the distance Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay, Beinn Tart a’Mhill towering over it.
We had driven out to Sanaigmore, hoping for a nice sunset just before the summer solstice. Unfortunately the sunset turned out to be lacking due to some pesky clouds on the horizon. Arriving back at my car we got talking with a couple who were wild camping. While we were chatting my sister Imke noticed these nice clouds in the late gloaming and took this picture, a reminder to never give up hope for a nice picture.
