Fionnphort and the Island of Mull from the village of Baile Mor on the Island of Iona.
Commentary.
Fionnphort (top right) is at the far western extremity of the Ross of Mull, a special journey in itself.
The ferry to Bailé Mòr, the main settlement on Iona is a pilgrimage in more ways than one.
It is regarded as a blessed place, being where St. Columba first brought Christianity to Britain over 1,450 years ago.
But religious or not, this place has a spirit, an ambience, an ethereal magic that transcends logic.
It feels like a little piece of heaven, paradise on Earth.
I cannot explain it, but it is tangible.
It feels like it has been here for ever.
It is a place that gets into your psyche,
and that you simply cannot forget!
