One very old chapel in the Ness area of Lewis, dedicated to St Moluag, an acolyte of St Columba. This firebrand priest is credited with bringing Christianity to Scotland. A very readable account is given by Nigel Tranter, who takes a little bit of poetic license. Anyway, here is the pic of the chapel, which I took on 27 April 2007.

AOL Community Photo Challenge - Aged
As Martha suggested this evening, I am submitting the same photo to this challenge as to the J-land photoshoot the week before. By the way, I am going to put it into the Judged category, gulp. Here goes, copied from that entry:

Great photo, Guido, I love the surrounding green and the way the center fence leads the eye and connects with the other fences behind the building. Nice.

Guido, that's a GREAT image and a perfect submission. I just love old buildings, and in that area, they're a LOT older than what I can find to shoot here. I love the way you photographed it with the fence leading up to the chapel...beautiful.
