November 2025 Saligo Bay panorama, Isle of Islay

A panoramic view in late November 2025 from the dune path leading to the beach in Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic. I quite like the photogenic band of clouds in the distance while there are blue skies above us. The low but still bright afternoon sun on the left providing some beautiful light.

Spotted in November 2025, a big heavy chunk of driftwood washed up high on Saligo Bay beach on the west coast of Islay. Where might it have come from, the west coast of Scotland, across the North Channel from Ireland or even further away?
