About Islay Pictures

So what in the heck is all this?

This is my ‘photoblog’ or ‘photographic web log’ with daily pictures of the Isle of Islay on the west coast of Scotland. As the name implies I will post pictures here, typically of the large variety (1000px wide or high, depending on the format). The pictures will mostly be from the Isle of Islay, on occasion I might stray to the neighbouring islands of Jura, Colonsay and Gigha.

About me

I like Islay. That's pretty much all you should need to know. This blog is mainly about the pictures, but then again something personal always creeps in. Pictures, their selection and their description transport something of the personality of the photographer. In case you don't know already, I'm Armin Grewe, a regular visitor to Islay. Should you need to contact me you can do this under the e-mail you can pull together from the word ‘pictures’, the well known ‘@’ sign and the domain of this website, which is ‘islay.org.uk’. I also read all comments left at the pictures and often reply to them (you'll find my comments/replies under the name of ‘Armin’).

Usage of these pictures for your projects

Under the following conditions you can use individual pictures from this blog in your non-commercial projects:

2. Please credit me through a clickable link to this photoblog if your project is online, i.e. a link that looks like this: Islay Pictures Photoblog. For ‘offline’ projects you should ideally print the website address, i.e. www.islay.org.uk
3. Please do not ‘hotlink’ the picture(s). Instead download it/them and copy them to your server.
4. Please make a donation to a cancer research charity in your country. I'll leave you to decide the amount depending on your financial situation, but would like to suggest something between £20 and £50 (or your local currency equivalent).
