Sorting out camera gear i found an SD card on an old Sony A7R with a few pictures from a trip to Islay 9 years ago. This is one from a sunset at Saligo Bay that never really materialised but the serenity and calm of the image makes me want to return soon #landscapephotography #scotland #islay #uk
The sun had gone over the horizon at Sligo Bay on Islay the southern most island of the Inner Hebrides. The  approaching darkness, f13 aperture, low ISO created a longish exposure and caught the last bit of colour in the Atlantic waves.

Looking up the Langstrath towards some great swimming spots, easy to wade in because of low water levels.Looking back towards Stonethwaite. River levels were low compared to the usual but it turned out to be a nice day.
