The Sound of Kerrera is a small strip of water that divides (or unites?) the Kerrera Island and the Scottish mainland near the beautiful town of Oban. In summer the sun lingers into the night hours and a deep peace settles over the green coast.

Ely, a small and beautiful town nearby Cambridge, sports one of the best cathedral in the UK. Unfortunately, the entrance costs 4 quids and for this reason i saw it only from the outside.
