Beautiful shot, Aarti! I also love your Kelpies! When were you in Scotland? I was there in 2018, wish I could go back soon!

Thank you, Kari. :) We were in the UK for three years. I think we visited Scotland in 2014. It's Amazing.

It definitely was amazing! I took over 2k photos and still wish I had taken more. I was able to go to the castle of ancestors on my Mom’s side, that was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had!

Lovely memories for you, Kari. :)
