When
is a Gull Too Far away and beyond the light? Distance and light will
vary for when too far is too far. These images show four pictures
attempted. Here is a full zoom in followed up by editing in to frame
the subject that here is this Gull. The detail never recorded in the
original soft dull exposures and then the further detail lost in the
crop are here noticeable by their absence. The gull and the harbour
had everything required for the picture that I could imagine was
present. I knew that I was too far away, yet I took the photographs
to see what the extent of the zoom and the light would be able to
create for me and for the gull on the day and now for you to see.
Sun,
sand, Seagull and Seagill all together make for more of the same. The
waves roll out to sea and return back to the shore that they left
from, but everything has changed and changed and changed again each
tide each new sea on each new shore and so the cycle seems set to run
for evermore. In amongst the rolling waves are both life and death
each arriving and departing all along the coast that is the fertile
belt stretched and wrapped all around the land.
Warning
Fast Changing Flashing Images - Look out Seagull
Gulls
watch us with their all round vision and decide if it safe to either
stay on a perch, or time to move on. The movement here is created
with two images, one of which is out focus around this gull’s head.
We make images up in our perception and add and subtract them to make
sense of what we are seeing. This is just an example of reality
pictured and altered in the edit and through our own perception.
Pencraig
Hill or Pencraig Brae is a Standing Stone that is a stunning marker
still in a prominent place and so regarded by thousands of users of
the A199 road that is named Pencraig Brae. The large well set stone
stands beside just North of the road between East Linton and
Haddington in East Lothian near Edinburgh Scotland. This stone fits
into the remains of the historic landscape much of which is not
easily visible, in contract this stone that might have acted as a
marker for many in finding their ways across the landscape is still
very prominent to travellers today even though the main road of the
A1 the early established route for traffic from Edinburgh to London
has now been sent away from East Linton on a modern bypass.
When
taking the pictures seen here I stood so as to hide a modern power
line post. In hiding the power line post behind the megalith I have
created an image of the stone that reminds me, at least, of the
iconic Forth Road bridges with their spectacular suspension cables.
The cables are both shown and edited out in these pictures.
Pencraig
Hill, or Pencraig Brae
3
metre tall standing stone in a field to the north of A199 named
Pencraig Brae.
Three
sided megalithic marker
Has
a clear Ordnance Survey Benchmark that seems not to be recorded.
I
have listed just a few of the sites where further information can be
found about this remarkable stone that places such a prominent focus
on this landscape. For those either looking in from the roadside, or
following a path if there is one this site is full wonder at the way
our ancestors looked at and made markers upon the land that they have
left for us to ponder over and mull on other times and many change of
uses. With a quick look at an Ordnance Survey map you can see the
location of hilltop rings and of other stones that have been set in
and upon the landscape still brining our attention to their
conception and possibly sometimes their role in ceremonial
celebration.
So
you are in Fairy Glen and if you are not seeing Fairy Magic then it
is up to you to unlock it. I have had beautiful times with wonderful
people in glen. If you are relaxed and open to being happy then
fantastic places like Fairy Glen do not need to either do, or be
anything. The magic is in you and you are able to accept and project
it as much as you will. Tick Tock Fairy O’clock is a timeless key
made both of and for the Fairy Glen. The images move at speed and
their motion helps to unlock the magic in shape, sound and colour.
The six pictures move to reveal the potential that you can find at
Tick Tock Fairy O’clock in the Fairy Glen on The Isle of Skye
Scotland.
“In
recent years’ visitors have started to move the rocks to create
spirals on the ground. We have been told that some of the bus tour
guides have made up and encouraged some rituals involving walking the
spirals then leaving a coin or token in the centre as an offering to
the fairies for good luck.
The
locals on Skye have repeatedly removed these stone spirals in an
attempt to keep the Glen in its natural state.”
