Bath Abbey

Bath Abbey
“Bath Abbey” — The interior of Bath Abbey, showing side columns.

It seems that I left some of my photographs from our spring 2026 visit to Scotland, Ireland, and England behind. That happens from time to time, usually when I get distracted by some other photographic project. But I’ve plunged back into the rather large collection of raw files from that trip, and I’m working on them once again. This photograph comes from our visit to Bath, England following our weeklong walk in the Cotswolds.

Cill Chriosd Burial Ground

Cill Chriosd Burial Ground
“Cill Chriosd Burial Ground” — Graveyard at the Cill Chriosd Church, Isle of Skye.

We passed this cemetery along a drive to the remote coastal village of Elgol on the southeast coast of the Isle of Skye. While parts of Skye are very busy and popular with tourists, there weren’t many people along this remote single-track road where there aren’t really any “tourist icon” sites. It was just lovely Scottish countryside —broad valleys, lakes, and some impressive mountains.

Chair, Steps, and Door

“Chair, Steps, and Door” — A white chair on steps in front of a black door, Kirk of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen.

I look for a various things when photographing cities — people, architecture, color and texture, special light, subjects that characterize the area… and things that just seem a bit odd, out of place, and hard to explain. This photograph falls into the last category, though I also like the contrast between the pure white of the chair and the darkness and heaviness of the rest of the scene.

Interior, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin

Interior, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin
“Interior, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin” — Looking down the length of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland.

I have recently shared a lot of photographs from Scotland, where we spent almost two weeks in May. But that was not the extent of our trip — in all, we were “on the road” for six weeks, also visiting Ireland and England. Ireland was next on our agenda after we departed Scotland, and we had a bit more than a week there. This time we concentrated on cities, quite a contrast with our rural adventures in Scotland. Our first stop was the marvelous city of Dublin.
