Places where heaven meets earth — where the divide feels thin.

“A thin place is a location or moment in which our sense of the sacred is more pronounced… the term comes from the mystical world of Celtic spirituality and the Celtic Christians, who were deeply connected to the natural world and considered every aspect of life to be infused with the presence of the Divine, especially… the ordinary elements of everyday life.” — asacredjourney.net

Reflection
Reflection — the causeway to Lindisfarne, one of the birthplaces of Christianity in the UK and a place of pilgrimage. The sea ebbing, and the light reflected off it.
Wow Sky
Wow Sky — North beach in Lindisfarne, expansive and beautiful: a fingerprint of God.
