“He would wake to see the towers and minarets printed on the exhausted, dust-powdered sky, and see as if en montage on them the giant footprints of the historical memory which lies behind the recollections of individual personality, its mentor and guide: indeed its inventor, since man is only an extension of the spirit of place.”
~ Lawrence Durrell, The Alexandria Quartet

The walk home part of the afternoon walk, and another angle of Preas Loch (on the maps as Loch an Aigeil)
