Defend and Protect
Lone Highlander at Elgol on Skye..

With the world under attack by Coronavirus I thought I would add my hopes that you will all be kept safe from harm along with this hillside defender.

I have added Massive Attack and 'Safe From Harm'

and the second Massive Attack link is 'Protection'

splendid defender, so beutifelly carved against the blue sky against the invisible threat to all those who have known, and continue to resist against it. And, at the same time, I see, a message of honor and remembrance for those ,who have died of it.

Ecobird club has replied to Beatrice Degan(MARS) club
Thank you so much Bea and I am pleased you like him. As you say he is beautifully carved and stands alone on the ridge like a silent sentinel. Have a lovely, peaceful Easter and stay safe and well.

Ecobird club has replied to Ste
Thank you very much Steve. It is a lovely drive and I like Elgol. The road back out is a bit narrow and generally busy so we were lucky to be able to stop so that I could get a quick shot of this wonderfully carved old Highlander.

I hope you have a lovely Easter weekend. Stay safe and well and keep smiling.

Thank you very much Nicole. I am really pleased you like it. Yes we have been on lockdown for almost three weeks now and Easter is different this year because of the near silence around us which I like. Thank you for your good wishes and support. Happy Easter to you. Have a good weekend and stay safe and well.

I wish he could Rosa! I thought he was great though, - but then I always did like the strong silent type! It is nice to see some sunshine - even if you can't go out to enjoy it! It has been nice and peaceful though. I hope you had a good Easter weekend. Take care and stay safe.

He looks like a formidable protector, Carol.

The music is sounding really good. I don't know if I've ever heard this band before.

Have as good a week as you can! :)

Ecobird club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thank you very much Karen. He really does! Massive Attack are from Bristol, less than 40 miles from us and have been going since the late 80's. Their music has featured in films and tv series.
'Safe from Harm' was used in 'The Insider' and 'Definitely Maybe' and 'Protection' was used in 'Hackers' and 'Sabrina'. Have a good week and stay safe.

Thank you Bernhard but you are not being stupid at all. It is actually a wooden carving. I have tried for ages to find out who carved it but unfortunately I have not been able to find out.It is beautifully made though.
