Picture of the bow of a ferry under the last evening light, a crescent Moon in the skyEvening ferry crossings to Islay I think often provide the best views, like this one from a crossing in April 2016. On the way to Port Ellen the MV Finlaggan is approaching the Oa, a crescent Moon low in the evening sky not long after sunset.
