On a clear June night on Islay while no midnight sun it doesn’t really get dark, especially when the picture is taken with a long exposure looking north. This is a view from near Kilchoman Church, looking towards Saligo and Loch Gorm. Low mist was forming over Loch Gorm. Only a few stars can be seen in the sky as it was still too light even well past midnight.
A view from the west coast of Islay north of Saligo, that’s me walking on the top of the steep cliff. The beach below is Tràigh Bhàn, just above it you’ll find one of the memorials for the Exmouth disaster. Picture courtesy of my sister Imke, taken during one of our Islay walks in June 2013.
A view from a beautiful June evening on Islay, returning to Kilchoman from Sanaigmore. On the way I stopped above Loch Gorm for this beautiful view of the loch in the gloaming, the last light of the day.
