...and live in the present. =D

The photo is mine, but the description comes from the Luss Church website:
"A rare Viking-era grave monument carved to resemble a longhouse roof, dating from around the 11th century. Its pattern of “roof tiles” and later Romanesque arcading mark Norse influence on early Christian art in Scotland."
