Wake

 


Trailing a stream of gulls in our wake as the ferry makes its way from Scotland to Jamestown across the James River.

León


The view from my room at the Hotel Abad San Antonio in León, Spain. Probably not the fanciest hotel in León, but very convenient to the highway that I travelled the next day to Sarria. Great dinner companions for an evening meal of chicken with mushroom sauce, mixed vegetables, custard, red wine, and mineral water.

Codex Biblicus Legionensis


"The León Bible of 960 or Codex Biblicus Legionensis is a mozarabic Bible manuscript copied and illuminated in 960 at the monastery of Valeránica in Tordómar. It is now held in the library of the Basílica de San Isidoro, León - why it moved there is unknown, though the monastery in which it was produced disappeared at the end of the 10th century and so it could have been given to the Basilica during the 11th century by Ferdinand I of Leon and his wife Sancha, the main patrons of the basilica." -- Wikipedia
