A view of Saligo Bay in April 2015, waves rolling in on a sunny afternoon on Islay. With a lot of sand washed away during the winter storm the smooth rocks are exposed more than usual, showing the effect of millions of years of sand and water.
A panoramic view of Saligo Bay in April 2015, looking quite different after the winter storms which hit Islay’s west coast in 2014/2015. A lot of sand had been washed away, exposing a lot more rocks than usual. Also a sandbank visible at low tide formed off the beach. An old sea mine moved position and was now lodged between the rocks below the dunes on the right.
For a much better view also try the full version of the Saligo Bay panorama after the winter storms (3x as big!).
