It
might be too late for many and far too early for some. The quiet bird
noises have been left quiet and distant. The window movement is
mentioned before the sound of the movement, not at all dissimilar to
an indicated Musical Movement and stop there on movement comparisons
please. The whole experience is the whole experience, with wonky
horizons and shaky movements. I am now an ambassador of the wonky as
I am at the permanent potential to go to the wonk and to glory in the
results as age and injury grip me tighter and longer than loved ones
ever have.
The
end of the day is fabulous break down. Everything of light has been
completed and the night offers some respite before the glorious
wonders all start again. This is after sunset at RSPB Scotland Loch
Leven nature reserve.
Saint
Columba is also known as Saint Colmcille of Iona.
Saint
Ninian is also known as the Apostle to the Southern Picts, further he
is also known as Ringan in Scotland and as Trynnian in Northern
England.
Abercorn
Church and the site of a noted Anglian Monastery are recorded in the
small stone museum. The building is made of stone and it houses
stone. Records left in stone speak through symbols and style across
history to inform our minds.
In
looking for further information I did find this,
COLUMBA AND
NINIAN: TWO SCOTTISH SAINTS
Thesis
: St. Columba is commemorated for having a greater influence on the
spread of Christianity in Scotland than St. Ninian because Columba
died better than Ninian.

Outlander
locations - Abercorn Church and Cemetery / Graveyard
“Filming
for season 4 took place at this churchyard in Linlithgow. The
graveyard played the part, in ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’, of Frank’s
final resting place after his fatal car crash. We see Bree visiting
Frank’s grave shortly after his death.”
“Abercorn
Church and Graveyard is one of several Outlander locations in the
surrounding locality. Barely a mile south is Midhope Castle
(Lallybroch), and the much used Hopetoun House is an equal distance
to the east. Blackness Castle, used as Fort William in season 1, is
also nearby, less than 5 miles away.”
I
hope
that no one except myself has seen these exact views and heard this
soundtrack before I share it online as I believe that I live alone
and now I have started asking myself about anyone else watching in on
my world more than I do already. This is a Saturday morning and the
outer limits of a husk of hollow Saturn ideas are even now sinking
further into my bones. The hollow nature of a Saturnian dilemma
provides it with fashion and form without certain supposed strength
that in lacking a less standard body evades any and all concept of
vital validity that gives determined deleting a chance, a hope and
even sometimes a success. The bone sinking, shadow self initiating
alone questioning and oh so chirpily chorused enchanted incanted
answered response(s) is / are hopefully not yours? I will do a long
awaited never anticipated welcome home now to a new ‘alone’
thought not easily shared with others, unless...
With
a sound recording from the other Loch shore the never seen before in
the title could be added to with, “and a never heard before
soundtrack.” Sometimes digital files like their analogue
predecessors get overlooked in all too busy lifestyles and when you
looking through your own stoory drawers you never know if you are
finding the right files to be sharing. The ruined, yet still tall and
impressive Tower House of Urquhart Castle is a pearl of keep on
string Curtain Wall that hosted other towers and a larger
entertaining facility of the Great Hall. The ruins are superb gem
stones preserved as they are showing us the former high need for tall
castle walls and the current protection for historic conservation
rather than fortification ready for both siege and domination.
Urquhart
Castle stands
a ruins still tall and proud attracting tourists to see and to dream
of the history and mystery that they find both in and around this
place. The stones hold on to the memories that are created in their
situation and the reliving of so much Scottish history here brings
about great sharing and caring for the past in
and on through
the
struggles and the successes. Like a Loch Edge Loom this site catches
the breezes and only lets them loose after they have left a little of
their voice here. Even the rising mists give their impressions from
out of the earth upon their way to the
heavens above. Somehow this attraction is able to weave the sounds of
winds and the magic moments of mists creating long lived legends into
historic themed treasured tapestries that illuminate the progress of
the tourists, the routes chosen by the pilgrims and the seeking minds
of all of the visitors.

Hḗlios ánthos calling out to be in mind ever amongst us displaying Sun answering and offering much fond remembering
See flowers and find the Sun ripening and burgeoning on Earth. Watch the colours of life live with the Bees stretching out the ground reaching out towards the trees. None of our perceptions are why the Sunflower has become so popular. The flower in nature found a place to thrive and after all of the natural struggle, happenstance and success we have the perception of the flower talking to us and we might be the ones to give a place all around the world bringing out millions of new connections all brightly, prominently and beautifully unfurled.
The heart shape is just how the plant looked that day. I am just to one side of the flower and today in 2024 I cut the picture with straight line and then reflected the cut image. I took these pictures in 2023 and edited and released some then. I do look for picture opportunities where I can reflect an image.
Guess who has been watching Vincent Van Gogh and some of the Sunflower legacy that is painted in, written down and reverberantly freshly vibrantly felt around the world in the history and mystery of known and unknown of documented in letters and illustrated in art of his and of those that inspired him and then of those that he inspired?
Maybe, too much? Everything found in silence and sound somehow with a howl out to the ones that growl...
Maybe, no not maybe rather too much of everything found in silence and in sound altogether not different rather in allied divisions of the infinite each one a part of THE ONE, every fulfilling all and so generating THE ALL.
At the entrance to Brochs there are small corbelled dens that some see as dog houses with them positioned so that the pack is poised ready to either blockade with their furious sea of swirling strength, or to welcome you through with their frantic show of faith. Dogs are marvellous. We are not always good enough for them.
On Orkney there are places that have been found with animal signatures. Presumed as totem items to bring an identify to the people in kit, kith and clan. There is famously The Tomb of the Eagles and then there is The Tomb of the Hounds, or as many say The Tomb of the Dogs which is neither as find rich nor as recent so less detailed than The Tomb of the Eagles. Then there is your individual discernment, even discrimination. The Hound faithful and helpful is often not seen as high on the animal scale of some perceived divine dignitary of animals where almost in a scoring game people hone their perceptions on the height, length and purpose in flight, upon the ground and within waters. Shamanistic ideals of purpose and best use might be wrapped tighter in smaller, shorter and more acclimatised and best designed ideals. For me The Tomb of the Dogs has always held me in very fond canine fascination.
I find revelation and regeneration in historic places. They are a fight for me to reach and an utter tremendous moment to be in washed with history, robed in mystery and released from the painful pressing concerns. The journeys, the quests and the healing pathways never end in the ancient places. The people that sited the ancient places had open space to fit their framework into place. The memories of such places are to me fantastic visions. As I type the Moon shines in Cuween and I am howling...
I have been to Cuween before and it has had me in awe since I heard about The Tomb of the Dogs, visited the chambered cairn and revisited The Tomb of the Hounds. I was happy sat in the burial area thinking and not thinking, in and out of the moment with nothing and everything all together with each other and at once, at one and at none. I had been so ill and now the world could stop and carry on and every part was sung in a song of fantastic fates and wondrous wyrd, of cunning craft and of great working, of time given, enjoyed and never forgotten, all of everything spoken held in human token of a pattern of life left open...
Highland Light the magical gift of the temperate climate
of Scotland and mountain scenery
The light the Light the LIGHT.
In property they say location, location, location.
In photography location can bring light and atmospheric conditions.
Once there at either the chosen location, or directed, or even the happenstance found location I would suggest that the magical quality that releases the subject and scene is the light the Light the LIGHT.

The
village of Temple in Midlothian is where the Knights Templar held
their primary and principal Preceptory in Scotland. There are some
trees that might follow along lines of previous structures. There is
a patch of rough ground that may one day be archaeologically be
further investigated generating more detail about this site. For now
there is a ruined kirk managed by TEMPLE OLD KIRK FRIENDS, please see
the link below. The kirk is well worth a view, but it is not old
enough to be a Templar building, there could be a reuse of stone
still holding information held right now within the present
structure. The stone archway pictured here is quickly photographed as
I chatted of knights, of bold deeds, of traditions of yore and of the
way forward we can create to reach out and to become legendary for
peace making and social caring as we all make one world a safer,
better and happier a place to be.
The
pictures start with the arch that stands even though it is heavily
worn by time. We progress away from the archway and look briefly at
the significant trees standing with the stones over centuries. There
are pictures that show a tree that is slowly breaking back down into
the ground. There are pictures of the nearby old school that stands
close to the arch. Any structure close by might have opened up and
then sealed in some historic evidence. The evidence focussed upon
today can be microscopic soil structure and also hue. The ground
holds secrets here and one day further archaeological excavation
might open up new details. Til then we have the archway behind the
old school and our imagination.
From
this spot you can look out to the ports of Edinburgh, to the Firth of
Forth and across to Fife. This place stands secure once within it’s
own sovereignty. The inspirational stories of old seem to have a fine
place here to reside.
Avian
Circle the first film following the birds around
The Earl’s Palace,
Birsay, Orkney, Scotland
The
birds chirped and swooped in fragmentary swarms and mutterings
bordering upon mini murmurings. The sound and sight was amazing. In
taking pictures around The Earl’s Palace at Birsay I missed a major
murmuring and a jumbled muttering, but at least I did catch something
of the Avian Circle following the birds around The Earl’s Palace,
Birsay, Orkney, Scotland.
There
was the whole fantastic ruin of The Earl’s Palace at Birsay and as
I was being asked to leave my final frames were of this plant
seemingly trying to get into the scheduled monument. I was being told
that we had other places to go and that it was Refreshments O'clock.
The woody stems had my imagination in over drive.
This
is a second film presentation with much less strong stressed images.
There is a greatly reduced soundtrack. Altogether less sometimes is
more, we all have our perception to please.
I
nearly wrote tease, please and release, but I thought better of that,
the hedgerow has more than enough of plenty within it’s burgeoning
boughs.
