Imke in a natural arch at Rhuvaal, Isle of Islay

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.
