A visual poem.
Northwest Highlands of Scotland. August 2018.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.<\/em><\/p>Mark Twain<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Wulver’s claw.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can you see the scary wulver<\/a>‘s claw guiding you over the stormy sea safely into the light? He is helping you to find your way. So take your time waiting for the wulver on the cliffs<\/a> near Stoer Lighthouse<\/a> and listen to the elements.

Little Elephant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can you see the the little elephant up in the sky? Just imagine the clouds in 3d – the elephant probably wouldn’t resemble a real elephant – but all the Gods know, one of my favorite animals is an elephant – so call it a happy coincidence or just a fact of geometric perspective, or whatever – I don’t care – only few seconds after making this photograph the little elephant disappeared forever – and was blown by the wind. Poor little elephant boy. Transient like everything. You will always stay in my heart.

Into the Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Would you love living always on the bright side? Imagine living in a small warm cabin in the green meadow at the shore of Clar Loch Mor<\/a>. How will it look like in winter time? Imagine those fantastic whites and greys – before it all changes and get’s even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mare Tranquillitatis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally reaching my ‘Sea of Tranquility’ (Mare Tranquillitatis<\/a>) in Ullapool<\/a> after a long and intensive day in the middle of the Scottish elements. It was like coming home and being safe.

When I stood at the harbor’s pier I remembered Barclay James Harvest’s ‘Sea of Tranquility’ – one of my favorites when I was young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aeolus<\/a>, the keeper of the winds in Greek mythology and the king of the island Aeolia fortunately calmed down at the end of the day – softly and gently crimping the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
