British Museum and Loch Ness/Scottish Highlands

Hi all! Sorry that it has been so long since I've shared with you. Much has happened since I've last posted, I have some cool pictures from the British Museum and the Scottish Highlands you may enjoy.

The British Museum:
In January I had the opportunity to attend a conference for new museum professionals at the British Museum in London. I had a great time and learned a lot on my very short trip. I took a train from Scotland, spent the next day at the museum, and had to take an overnight train back to Scotland. What a whirlwind!

This is the main hall of the British Museum.

Here is a bad photo of the famous Rosetta Stone! It's really hard to get a good picture of this as there are always so many people standing around it.

Here is a portico from the Parthenon in Athens. Very cool to see!


Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands:
I was very pleased to have my friend Heidi from South Lyon visit me last month. While she was here, we took a trip to Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. I was very inspired to see God's handiwork in this part of the world. On the train ride, we experienced a snowstorm in the mountains-- how peaceful everything looked!

The Scottish flag flies over the Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness. You can see some snow in the surrounding the hills.

Another amazing Scottish sky! That day we saw a blizzard, sun and a strange fog. We watched this strange mist/fog slowly roll from one side to the other.

Here is another view of Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness.

... and another view of the castle and surrounding landscape.
