Looking in on eternity

[anteros_lmc]

I got back from a lovely break in the Western Isles last weekend and promptly came down with the cold from hell. It's ages since I've had a bad cold and I'd forgotten just how much they can flatten you. I had hoped to post some pics and other bits and pieces but my head is full of cotton wool, so in the meantime here's one picture of a nice view

That poet has said it so well-- clear and spare and perfect. Picture is stunning.

I especially like the way you can see the shadow of the cloud, just at the edge there. I used to watch the cloud shadows in the Berkshires.

I am sorry you have a cold. I think getting them less often is one of the consolations of the passing years. Of course now when I get one I feel even more outraged and betrayed!

There really is something about the clarity of the light in the Hebrides that is just breathtaking. Lewis has produced many well known Gaelic and English poets but for me it's Thomson who really captures the island as I see it.

It is absolutely wonderful to look into eternity by using only binoculars :)
Magnificent photo!

Thank you. Sometimes the light is so clear that you don't even need binoculars to see eternity!

I'm sorry about the cold, hope you'll feel better soon.
But your photo is wonderful, as always!
And I'm glad my parcel arrived safely :)

Thankfully my cold, though nasty, was very short lived so I can't complain!
