Beauty is within grasp... open your eyes and you'll see it

 View from the north side of the Abbey, looking east across the snow covered Burg and Ben More on Mull
 The Abbey from the south east corner, in breathtaking morning sunlight on my way to Bishops House for communiona
 The sunrise over Fionnphort, Mull
 St Oran's chapel, the oldest of the Abbey buildings, with a dusting of snow and low winter sunlight
 Amazing shadows from the high nunnery walls
Edinburgh Castle at the end of November, looking majestic with the bright blue backdrop

  4. Hi Lorna,
    I just wanted to thank you for these lovely photos of Iona (and Edinburgh)! I am in Edinburgh for the weekend (and on my way back to L'Arche in Italy.)
    I appreciate your writing and songs too.
    Hope to see you in March when I am back on Iona for a week at Bishop's House.
    Hope you are keeping well.
    Happy Advent,
    Fiona (from Canada)
