Camping in wild Scotland

These photos were taken on my first camping venture in Scotland, and actually it was my first trip to Scotland in general. I only had a small digital camera at the time, no advanced DSLR, but the photos still turned out quite well I think. Having beautiful landscape really makes the photo no matter what camera you have.  Places highlighted here include Eilean Donan Castle, Lochcarron, Applecross, the Isle of Skye and Glasgow.

The Western Wall

While study at Oxford I had the opportunity to travel with a group of theologians to Palestine, Israel, Jordan and Egypt. It was a trip that further sparked my fascination and academic interest in the Middle East. A haunting moment was visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem where human desperation and need for God are inescapable.
