This is one great photo! You do really good work. Have you thought about publishing a collection? Go check out lulu.com -- self publish for the cost of printing a book -- it's pretty extraordinary. I'm encouraging one of our elders to publish his bible studies using this service. I bet you could do the same with your iona pictures and these glasgow pictures.
Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

This is wonderful. I can feel myself seeping into the deep mystic world of the Celts as I look at it.
Magnificent. You captured such detail.
Just stunning! What russell said.
Beautiful! Glad to see you here, Robin.
Beautiful, and it leaves me feeling peaceful, to look at this pic. Thank you.

A beautiful picture. I recently knitted a scarf that had some Celtic knotwork that looked like the center of the cross in the foreground. leenora58
