Picture of a view over a sound between two islands, two lighthouses and two ships in viewA view across the northern end of the Sound of Islay from the Isle of Jura. Jura in the foreground, I’m not sure if the small light has a name. On the other side of the sound is the northern tip of Islay with Rhuvaal lighthouse. In the distance Colonsay can be seen. Two ships in the sound, a coaster going north, a fishing boat travelling south.

Picture of a woman standing inside a natural archIn summer 2013 my sister Imke joined me for a summer holiday on Islay. One of the walks we did took us to Rhuvaal lighthouse (and beyond). Just below the lighthouse is this natural arch, of course I had to take a picture of it with my sister standing in it.
