On A Sand Bar

On A Sand Bar
Kilchoman sands, Machir Bay, Isle of Islay, Reputed to be the wreck of a brig called the MARY ANN of Greenock which was wrecked on the Kilchoman strand in heavy gales, 22 May 1859, The brig was loaded with wines and spirits. folklore says there were scenes of looting, and a good number of cases of whisky were drunk in a very short time,
Islay's version of Whisky Galore I guess.

Large Please,

My music link is a beautiful song (and one of his best) by Sting www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtTMxBVFVSg

Very much appreciated Rosa , a longish trek across the sand to get the shot but then the blistering hot sun on the white sand bleached the colour from many of the images
