A black and white view of the Cloisters within Iona Abbey (a restored and reconstructed Benedictine abbey) on the Isle of Iona, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The Cloisters are a historic and spiritually significant part of the abbey complex, with the current covered walkways rebuilt in the early 20th century and featuring new, modern carvings added later that reflect nature and Celtic spirituality. These covered walkways, which once surrounded a central courtyard where monks spent time in contemplation, were designed to provide a safe, meditative space, with the symbolic carvings intended to inspire a deeper connection to existence and the natural world. The present Iona Abbey dates from the arrival of the Benedictine monks in around 1200, though it was extensively rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries and restored virtually wholesale in the last century. It was built on the site where St. Columba established his monastery hundreds of years earlier. He fled from Ireland in 563 and established a monastery which was responsible for the conversion to Christianity of more or less all of pagan Scotland as well as much of northern England. Iona has been a place of Christian worship for over 1400 years.

A large opening in a huge seastack with the sun shining through, lighting up the waves on the near side. There's a reflection of sunlight seen in the wet sand in the foreground.

I took this photo after climbing over large boulders and looking back at hikers going in the opposite direction. When we reached the top of Little Ingleborough the weather changed dramatically and we had to turn back when we were not far from reaching the highest point!

A black-and-white photograph of a natural rock arch in the Upper Palatinate Jura, forming a striking “opening” in the rugged limestone. The rough, textured walls curve inward to frame a bright woodland scene beyond—sunlit trees, delicate branches, and a narrow path leading forward. The contrast between the shadowed foreground and the luminous forest creates a sense of passage, as if the opening invites the viewer to step from darkness into light.

The building doesn’t ask to be remembered. It simply refuses to disappear — brick by stubborn brick, rising against a sky that has long since moved on. Windows open to nothing. A ghost sign bleeds through the mortar, half a word, half a memory. Whatever commerce once hummed behind these walls has been swallowed whole, leaving only the architecture of absence.

A black-and-white image looking through a receding arched tunnel with openings on the side, each smaller than the last, drawing the eye toward a bright sliver of light at the far end. The rough-hewn stone walls are dramatically lit, carving stark highlights and deep shadows that give the passage an almost cathedral-like quality. The flat, paved floor contrasts with the organic curves of the carved rock above.

Black and white photo of a large bronze medallion of Medusa’s head, set in a frame of a large oak door. The head is wreathed in hair and snakes, with two snakes arching above, facing each other, mouths open. The Medusa herself faces incomers with mouth wide open, as though emitting a scream.

Opening of an entry (alley). There is a Guinness barrel at bottom left out side a pub. There are various signs and panels on the wall inside the entry. It’s a sunny day

A close-up of what is likely an Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis) branch in early spring. At the end of the branch are fresh, unfurling leaves and a cluster of pale green drooping flower buds. One small, five-petaled white flower has fully opened near the center. The background is a soft, out-of-focus mix of deep green foliage and dappled light, making the bright spring growth stand out.

An old estate in north Devon, now in the care of the National Trust. The church can be seen in the gap created by the trees.

Macro of a magnolia bud opening. The image features several white, star-shaped flowers and numerous buds. One flower in the foreground is partially open, showing multiple narrow, strap-like petals. The base of the flower is covered in a soft, brownish, fuzzy structure.
