My mind has been taking me back to Scotland a lot lately. Scrolling down memory lane via my photos I came across this shot of crofts. And, thankfully, I had labelled it properly because I would never have have remembered the name of the village - Eoropaidh, on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. I think of it as the place where they farm fences.
My friend, Graham had taken me to this spot to visit St Moluag's, a 12th Century church which stands about 100 metress back off the road, accessed by a path between two crofts.
Linking to Gosia's Fences around the World.
Fantastic fence thanks
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach there too. We were there just the other day. You need to come back Pauline!
ReplyDeleteOh, Pat, I do agree with you. If only I could.
DeleteLove those lush green colors and especially the second image with the path leading to the church.

I thought the church at the end of the path was a terrific surprise.
DeleteYou have a very different fence photo. Nice one and good eye.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Red. I'd never seen so many fences before!
DeleteLovely photos of the fences and sweet animals ~ thanks,
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you ~ ^_^
Thank you. The young cattle were very placid.
DeleteA 12th century church - wow!
ReplyDelete12th century - awesome! I have a fascination with old buildings.
ReplyDeleteI thought this old church was quite unique, Amy. No power inside, just enough light to be mystical.
DeleteVery nice, the way the fence leads to the church, i'd want to go inside and sit a while if they allow it.
ReplyDeleteYes, they definitely do allow that, messymini. The church was open on a weekday, no one else around. It felt a little damp inside though.
DeleteThat's amazing! A beautiful place and so many fences!
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at how many fences there are on the island - and how few animals or crops.
DeleteTo me, these shots are just perfection. I long to visit Scotland!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get there one day, Michelle. I only went to the Hebrides and the highlands - and totally loved all I saw.
DeleteGreat photos! Love the vast green field. You have a lovely banner.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy. The dam in my banner is on this farm. We spend a lot of time there in summer.
DeleteThe cows are watching you. - What a cool old church building.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ida, they kept a keen eye on us. Delightful guardians of the church. :)
DeleteWhat a challenging environment.
ReplyDeleteVery challenging, Tabor. Not an easy place to live - or make a living. But, on so beautiful!
DeleteI would like to see more of this place...
ReplyDeleteMe too, Rose. I dream of going back.
DeleteThere sure are a lot of fences.
ReplyDeleteA building that old is an impossibility in the "New World." Here in the US, anything older than 200 years is considered "ancient."
ReplyDeleteAh such a wonderful day that was. You were wearing a red jacket. I remember that it contrasted wonderfully with the green as you walked down the path to the church ahead of me.
