49. SCOTLAND (Knoydart Peninsula, November 2001)
The official certificate says our place of marriage was
Latitude 57°02’27N, Longitude 5°43’52W.
Simple numbers telling the story of a rugged Knoydart hillside,
overlooking Skye,
twixt Heaven and Hell,
surrounded with joy.
On a late autumn morning, colours saturated from weeks of rain.
And a shaft of startling sunlight pierced the clouds.

The Knoydart Peninsula juts out into the sea between Loch Hourn (meaning hell) to the north, and Loch Nevis (heaven) to the south.

Really GREEN in Scotland 😉
The hills of Applecross tell
by bracken and by bare stone
why they call our native cloth
breacan – the speckled

Marie – thank you for these beautiful words: you absolutely captured the colours on that astonishing day.
We like those signs from above!
How apt that you should post this one on such an amazing Autumn day so many years later, very evocative!
