Iona Day 3 – Part 2

To the north again

With the weather still holding and a wet day forecast for the morning, I took the road out to the north of the island again in the afternoon. The white sands of Strand of the Seat were pulling me back, the waders had gone but the waves were turning beautifully on the sands.

Views on the way up to the beaches on the north coast were very fine and I spent a little time around the Abbey on the way back to our cottage.

Red-throated Diver and Eider were on the Strait of Storm

It was good to get a couple of slightly different images of the crosses around the Abbey from the road to the north but with the 500mm lens. The classic silhouette was with a wide angle lens of course!
