In Albion, in Autumn...
on golden threads we travel...
roads that may be familiar to some....
but reached by quieter paths that are secret to many...
delighting in silvery solitude and morning frost...
across waters deep...
and on waters wide...
where only the beasts notice our passing shadows....
across lands that can be relied on not to tell....
through gates into well known landscape features...
but reached by un-obvious ways.
our feet march through autumn's carpet splendour... a rusty fallen avenue of lost leaves....
where rich rewards are given freely...
and sights across this dappled realm unfold...
through hidden trails we continue to drift...unobserved....
In Albion.... in September and October.... our sunsets splashed with golden rays....
and perfect mountains....
painted with glowing russet light...
familiar places yet on this particular day.... scarcely known....
as we glide through the vast kingdom of Albion instead...
a treasured....
gilded...
sparkling world of wonders....
where magic seems entirely possible....
and dreams unfold... as a slide show....of the season just passed.
A wonderful rich display of autumnal colours showing off Scotland's magical landscape with the silhouette of Glasgow University giving an impression of a fairytale castle.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful, as ever. What a magnificent fungus!
ReplyDeleteLike the loch one best. Dumgoyne always looks an impossible beast although I gather there is a way up it! What are the red bracket fungus? Never seen red ones...
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteYou could go up the G.U. tower at one point then they stopped it for some reason. It would have been impressive to climb. Probably Health and Safety issues.
Cheers Anabel.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteeasy path to summit, not much exposure. Just a bracket fungus- some old barbers used to sharpen cut throat razors on them judging by their other name and they apparently make good tinder once dried out.
How can any place be so beautiful! I want to walk there SO MUCH!!
ReplyDeleteA land of woods, small scattered round lochs and high open heath lands. Nowhere else quite like it in Scotland.
