A summer evening and harvesters work late into the evening to remove the crops from the fields, Gate removal is essential to allow equipment to work the fields unimpeded, I prefer the image large.

Remains,

22 Nov 2022 41 56 224
At the southern extremity of the Mull of Galloway are the remains of a once sturdy wall, A large view should reveal the Isle of Man and possibly the Lake District National Park beyond that. This is also the point where the Irish Sea, the North Channel and the Solway Firth meet, causing some currants and at times turbulent seas.

What is this Life

30 May 2017 39 50 716
What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare? — No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.” William Henry Davies Statue of a fisherman in the rain, sea front, Port William, Dumfriese & Galloway.
