In February I shared our
favorite family photos, and our
nearly favorite family photos, from our second year in Scotland. They're not from the calendar year of 2015 but rather from our second year, running from mid-June 2014 to mid-June 2015. Many apologies for my lack of efficiency.
The photos below I thought were striking in one way or another. They're not necessarily, however, our favorite places we visited. Rather, they're some of my favorite photos of places: landscapes, ruins, cityscapes, and so on.
Stay tuned for the upcoming post of my true favorites in the next week or two.
