St John’s 1 of 3

Sherry Felix

The lovely St. John’s Scottish Episcopalian Church is by Loch Leven in Ballachulish, Scotland. It is a deeply Scottish Church whose history is interwoven with the whole story of Christianity in Scotland – back to the Celtic Saints like Ninian and Columba and through the Scottish Reformation and all the turbulence which followed. Pictures of the church to follow.

We came to photograph the dawn light.

    A lovely set of photos, is punctuated by the fun and delightful Chaffinch photo – almost like an unexpected joke about the serious landscape photos!
