This photo was taken by Brian Williams.
He was brought up in Dunbar, East Lothian, along the east coast of Scotland.
When he shared the photo with me, he told me it was taken near there, and mentioned John Muir.
Me being me, I went looking.
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland is indeed the birthplace of John Muir.
We in the United States honor John Muir as a conservationist, and for his campaign to form Yosemite National Park; respect him as a writer; and almost revere him as a poet.
Now, I hardly ever put much stock in 'coincidence'.
Brian takes enchanting photos; John Muir spoke words filled with enchantment.
The two go together.
John Muir
