Chris and Amy's trip to Scotland: June 28th - July 11th, 2003: Isle of Mull and Iona (click on pictures to view large version)
|
Aboard the ferry, leaving Oban for Isle of Mull. |
A castle and the the Oban skyline. |
Amy loved taking pictures from the ferry. |
|
A beautiful place to live... |
Great shot of castle from the ferry. |
Looking out over the ocean. |
|
The lighthouse between Oban and Mull. |
Once on Isle of Mull, we took a bus to the other side of the island, where we stayed in the small town of Fionnphort. |
Looking across the bay to Iona, our reason for coming to Fionnphort. |
|
Amy, on the beach at Fionnphort. |
Sand and rocks. |
Rocks shaped by the power of water and waves. |
|
The Abbey at Iona can be seen from Fionnphort - looks like they're doing some construction... |
The town of Fionnphort from the hill above the town. |
The nunnery on Iona. |
|
Another view of the nunnery. |
Chris emerging from the nunnery... |
Cross standing along the way from the nunnery to the abbey. |
|
Flower garden on Iona. |
Closeup of flowers |
House on Iona. |
|
The same house with it's background setting. |
St. Martin's Cross, Iona Abbey. This cross is centuries old. |
St. John's Cross (actually a concrete replica) at the Abbey. |
|
Flowers in someone's backyard on Iona. |
Snail on the plants. |
Are these cows really on that roof? Or is it an optical illusion? Part of the magic of Iona. |
|
Beach on far side of Iona. If you look hard enough out across the ocean, you can almost see Ireland. |
Another beach shot, looking out over water between Iona and Mull, with the fishers small boats tied up - they've taken the small boats out to their fishing boats and are now out fishing. |
