Colourful April gloaming from the Saligo dunes, Isle of Islay

The sunset wasn’t the most exciting, but the gloaming after it turned out rather nice. Above the Saligo dunes some dark blue sky, out on the horizon over the Atlantic the distant clouds turned into a dramatic fire of reds and oranges. It didn’t last long, but looked amazing while it lasted.

The waves in Saligo Bay, rolling in from the Atlantic, rarely stop pounding the shore and beach. They also all look different, even though they sometimes look similar. This picture was taken just minutes, maybe seconds from this picture of crashing waves in south Saligo Bay. Similar, but not the same.

A view north west from the highest dune at Saligo, looking along the northern end of the bay with the beach petering out into a rocky shoreline. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking as they reach the shore.
