An April evening on the west coast of Islay. While the sunset wasn’t as good as I had hoped the gloaming after it was very nice. The north west horizon turned quite colourful, a great view from the beach as well as from up in the dunes.

Driving out on the Kilchoman road to watch the sunset from the beach (which turned out to be a non-event) I was treated to this beautiful view of Saligo and Loch Gorm under a colourful sky with the sun just shining through the clouds.

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.
