Beautiful mild November afternoon light on some Atlantic waves breaking over rocks at the southern shore of Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay.

A June afternoon at Saligo on the west coast of Islay. We are looking over Saligo Bay and the Atlantic from the dunes above the beach. A weather front is moving in from the south, a band of clouds taking away the sun we were enjoying earlier.
