A beautiful April afternoon on the west coast of Islay, out on Kilchoman beach. Waves swirling around the remains of the wreck of the Patti after rolling in from the Atlantic. Some interesting fluffy clouds in the sky, providing some nice texture.

A view from Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay on a sunny April afternoon. Just in front of us the remains of the wreck of the Patti, across Machir Bay the coastline stretching out to the south past Kilchiaran.

At the end of a great walk to the old radar station at Kilchiaran I stopped at the old wreck of the Patti (an early steamship wrecked in the 1840s). The low November afternoon sun provided some beautiful mild golden light, reflecting on the wet sand and water.
