七福神

Your day just got a little more lucky after viewing the Seven Lucky Gods of Mt. Takao. If those don’t work for you then we also have some jizo and other random gods to meet all of your needs.

Dunkeld Cathedral and a Monkey Puzzle Tree (Scotland, July 2021)

I should have done more research before my tour in the Scottish Highlands. Had I done so, I would have made a mad dash for this place when we had a half-hour break on our way to Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye. Instead, I got some food and ate it in a park near the bus. Cool town, but I feel like I didn’t even scratch the surface of its history–including the 1689 Battle of Dunkeld that was fought around the cathedral between the Jacobite Highland clans and the British government. Maybe the tour guide described all of this, but on day one of the tour, I could only understand a fraction of what he said.

Today’s photo was taken on my trip from Hirtshals, Denmark to Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. I have no desire to be on a boat for over 30 hours straight again, but it was an interesting adventure in hindsight.
