Alba, My Alba

 

 

Bratach na h-Alba

 

So this is it. It was it, Scotland’s chance at self-determination, blown away like thistledown on the winds of despair and fear. This little blue flame that had so much potential to become a beacon of democracy for the world has been snuffed out and the world can now get on with the business of spiraling into the shithole it has made for itself. Just a blip on the screen of darkness. So much for the chimes of freedom.

They may ring again one day, but probably not in my lifetime. The Unicorn is still chained.

Just thinking about the summer of 2010 when we were there, in Scotland, and how I long to be there again, forever...aite mo ghaoil. Breath of my life, breath of my being... Thoughts on an icy day...dreams in the darkness.

More photographs from Scotland, Highlands and Islands. An Gaidhealtachd. I took over 2600 pictures on that turas..still haven't done much with them. None of these have been enhanced or adjusted in any way. I love my camera, and my new lens will probably be here next week!

People who are fluent in Gaidhlig, please forgive any misspellings or gramar dona.
