Walking near Smaull, Isle of Islay

Panoramic view over a coastal landscape from a hill, a walker coming up the hillWalking on the west coast of Islay a decade ago. The view is south from just north of Smaull (buildings just right of centre). Saligo Bay on the right. Loch Gorm just visible in the distance, to the right of An Carnan on the left. In the far distance Sunderland Hill and the Kilchoman Crags.

Coming up the hill is my late mother on the first of her three Islay visits.

Water splash in Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

Picture of water splashing over rocks in a bayA bit of wet action from Saligo Bay, a wave breaking on the rocks, sending the water splashing up in the air. The low sun in the background indicates this was taken in October.
