An October afternoon classic Islay view, the Paps of Jura in the distance behind the lower hills of Islay along Loch Indaal. A variety of birds visible on and above the loch, part of the feeding frenzy I had watched from Bruichladdich.

After a mostly dull day on Islay at sunset the cloudy sky over the Rhinns of Islay briefly erupted in some colourful fiery light. Watched while out on a walk on Uiskentuie beach.
