For France
The photographs are of landscapes and birds in beautiful Scotland where I traveled in July of this year with my husband, Harry.
May they bring to you a semblance of peace and continuity.

Iona Abbey on the Isle of Iona, just off the Isle of Mull. Its origins trace to St. Columba and go back to the sixth century when it was the foundation of a monastic community and nunnery. Attacked by Vikings who massacred everyone in 806; it was rebuilt and expanded various times after attacks. Iona Abbey is home today to an ecumenical Christian religious order, and remains a popular site of Christian pilgrimage.
