Image Statement: Text- The old walls glisten with age setting off a single arched window, shimmering a golden radiance from the sunlit vista beyond. The distance rumble of ocean waves, fill the nearly empty room, echoing from the bay below. Catching smells of damp salty air, I felt transported across the ages to when Iona Abby was first used. There’s a certain peace within as if the prayers of so many, so long ago, still reverberated, bound in its walls, captured in stone for me and anyone else who cares to listen.
