"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

Henry David Thoreau

Ruined churches are a common sight in Scotland.  Also oft seen are churches that have been converted to residences, offices, restaurants, cinemas, night-clubs ............. Burial space is in short supply though, so the graveyards of these former churches always seem to be thriving ... ..

(maybe that's the wrong word .....!)

Another image from the Lofoten archive.  Is that little red hut an outside toilet?

Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds ........ 

it is an ever-fixed mark, that looks on tempests, and is never shaken.

Shakespeare Sonnet 116

A photo from the archive. I'm sure I've been seeing this place in my dreams......
