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.)

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.

trailer/falls
A farm trailer and a waterfall, also discovered because of the detour that I mentioned yesterday.
These waterfalls come and go, depending on how much rain there’s been. This one was rushing and just as I left the sound of it changed – and the amount of water noticeably increased. And on the other hand, when I looked at this place on a street-view map, the trailer was there but not one drop of water was flowing down the mountain.

We hadn’t planned on going on this road, but a car crash blocked the road we meant to take, necessitating a detour.
And what a detour it was…
