Thu, 21 Oct 2010 01:12:33 -0700 Dawn and Sunrise Seen from the Sound of Islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/dawn-and-sunrise-seen-from-the-sound-of-islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/dawn-and-sunrise-seen-from-the-sound-of-islay

Wednesday morning I witnessed one of the best sunrises on Islay so far. I was standing on my favourite wee hill overlooking the Sound of Islay and it was bitterly cold. The temperature was 1c and I could see the snow on the peaks of the Isle of Mull. The stags roared on the other shore of the Sound of Islay and despite the cold I ended up with some really nice images of the sunrise. Just before sunrise a shower passed which gave quite a special effect as you can see.

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 13:13:09 -0700 Another Great Day on Islay - Mainly at Port Ellen and Laphroaig http://isleofislay.posterous.com/another-great-day-on-islay-mainly-at-port-ell http://isleofislay.posterous.com/another-great-day-on-islay-mainly-at-port-ell

It was another fine day on Islay. It started with a beautiful sunrise and a rainbow and later on we visited Dunlossit Estate office where we found out that the last piggies left Islay last week. They will be missed! Then we found ourselves in and around Port Ellen where we had a couple of wee walks. Annika spent some time on the swings next to Ramsay Hall, I have been inside the Screen Machine for the first time which was nice. We have visited Laphroaig Distillery, seen many Geese at the head of Loch Indaal and in the afternoon we went to see the Hastings family in Port Charlotte where we had a great time and dinner! What a wonderful day it was as you can see from the images J

Mon, 10 May 2010 00:26:48 -0700 An Islay Sunset and Jura Sunrise http://isleofislay.posterous.com/an-islay-sunset-and-jura-sunrise http://isleofislay.posterous.com/an-islay-sunset-and-jura-sunrise

As promised yesterday here is the sunset I went out for last night. It wasn’t a spectacular sunset but beautiful nevertheless. When I woke up this morning to photograph the sunrise over the Paps of Jura and went outside it was feeling bitterly cold. The temperature was 4 degr Celsius and a strong and very chilly north-westerly wind came in over the Sound of Islay but the views and sunrise were excellent again!

Crystal clear skies this morning with stunning views towards the west coast of Jura, the Isle of Mull and the Garvellachs and a real treat was a brilliant sunrise over the Paps of Jura. What a start of the day!
