So DEEP SCOTLAND is my circus: an always increasing collection of soul landscapes from every corner of Scotland.
Here some samples of my "pictures to taste"
if You feel the bitter and the sweet, You're entering Scotland.
from the deepest blue to the sparkling red, there is a mix of land, clouds, winds and sea that often reaches an inner dimension:
let's begin the journey from the top, by the last light of the hebrides at the BUTT OF LEWIS lighthouse
and suddenly to the other side, find Yourself amazed by a bloody red dawn by the Bass Rock
(DROP, east Lothian)
---
Been there so many times, with challenging conditions, everchanging lights,
and always the wind, always the wonder...
(LAIG BAY, island of Eigg)
So search the way out of time,
there's always an hidden path to nowhere...
or to everywhere, as destination counts nothing
(CROFT AND EAVAL, South Uist)
(WHITE EIGG, Inner Hebrides)
And by the next dawn,
like ancient and tired wizards the stones will cast their spell.
Once again, the circle of time will be completed,
the Aura still there
(AURA, Callanish stones, Lewis)
Or You could find Yourself facing the cold april sun after a stormy night,
feeling it setting the gorse bushes on fire
and lighting up the old cove,
so listen, see:
that's when a thousand stories appear:
(COVE HARBOUR, Lothians)
and realize it all
Tempest,
Harshness,
Grief,
and Beauty.
The life
(A FLOWER IN THE HIGHLANDS, Loch Assynt)
(THE SEA BREATHS, Island of Lewis)
then, pass by,
and find the path to men's and women's lives
a Home is an Island
and sailing the sea of tears
one can still reach the breath of the souls who lived there
now one with the wind
(the clearances in Scotland - EILEAN, Lewis - BLUE DOOR, North Uist)
and, You know, sometimes we need to go beyond the open seas
(FAIR ISLE BLUES, Shetland)
or to reach a sanctuary
(VIEW FROM THE HILL, Iona, Inner Hebrides)
and maybe being hypnotized in the middle of a field....
and no wonder, that's what nature can do:
(A FLOCK OF WAVES, Island of Rum seen from Eigg)
(GARDENSTOWN, Aberdeenshire)
(TALES FROM THE UNDERWATER, Assynt)
(SAINT ABBS DAWN, Lothian)
(TANGUSDALE BEACH, island of Barra)
(THE HOWLIN CROFT, Eigg, Inner Hebrides)
(TANTALLON CASTLE, East Lothian, and MANGERSTA NEEDLES, Lewis)
(LOCH DRUIDIBEG, South Uist)
(OUR LADY OF THE ISLES, South Uist)
(BEFORE THE DAWN, Uig Sands, Lewis).
...to be continued on the next adventure

as they are the perfect dreamcatchers for me.
