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.

A view north west from the highest dune at Saligo, looking along the northern end of the bay with the beach petering out into a rocky shoreline. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking as they reach the shore.
