Iona Abbey

Iona Abbey is located on the Isle of Iona, just off the Isle of Mull on the West Coast of Scotland. It is one of the oldest and most important religious centres in Western Europe. The abbey was a focal point for the spread of Christianity throughout Scotland and marks the foundation of a monastic community by St. Columba. This fine Saturday the seven of us made a flying visit, not giving enough time to really get around the island so a return visit is required.

I've heard of this place before and never seen it.
Your shot is in perfect light and has a superb richness of colour

Great picture of this famous abbey. And I like the caretaker as well.
