A beautiful April evening on the west coast of Islay at Saligo. One of the horses living in the area is standing in the dunes, almost as if it is posing. Some sheep and their lambs in the background, if you look closely you’ll notice one is feeding. Waves rolling into Saligo Bay in the background.

I think Saligo Bay is one of the best places on Islay to watch waves rolling in from the Atlantic and breaking as they approach the shore. This view is from the northern end of the bay on a beautiful April evening.

A view north on Saligo beach on the west coast of Islay, water running off the beach after a wave during the incoming tide had washed up the beach. Dunes on the right and a well known rock formation in the distance.
