behind the shops
Why, yes! I did turn down a small passageway behind some shops. How else would I have known that the slats in the reflection were generally parallel to the handrail on the steps?

when the trail seems unclear
When the trails seem unclear, it seems easy to keep your eyes to the ground, trudging along and hoping for the best.
But maybe a good idea is to look up and take stock of what’s actually there in front of you. It’s probably a lot different than the scary things your mind conjured up while you trudged along.

sun ignores the graveyard
While it would have been nice to have some sun shining on these old gravestones, I will admit that it was a lot prettier to see that patch of sunlight across the Sound of Mull.

three arches over the River Sligachan
According to legend, if you stick your face in the water under the bridge, hold it there for seven seconds, and then let it dry naturally, you’ll be blessed with eternal beauty.
Instead of doing that (because it was cold AF)(and also because I didn’t know the legend at the time)(but mostly because it was cold), I opted to make a few photos of the fast-flowing water under the stone arches of the bridge. (It was built between 1810 and 1818.)

claws
This was in the old part of the graveyard, the part my friend Kim called “Creepytown.” I was glad we were there in the autumn: a summer view from this spot would be very different and less creepy. And way less of something I’d want to photograph.
