A return from the blogwilderness......
Now I know there's a bit of a theme going on here, but bear with me and let me get it out of my system......
I've always loved this song since I first heard it years ago, but recent events have given it an added poignancy.
These pics were taken yesterday at a frozen and snowy Rescobie Loch just outside Forfar.
It was one of those beautiful winter's days, bright blue skies, crunchy snow, freezing temperatures......
The sun was very low and was casting lovely long shadows across the snow.
I love this little bench and often wonder who Jack was......
I like the simplicity of the message his friends left.
Friendship is a wonderful thing. I feel the crunch of the snow and glory in the crisp, clear air and deeply feel the poignancy of the empty bench.
ReplyDeleteI can only echo everything that Arija has written. Your photos are beautiful as always, Neil. Wishing you a good week!

ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jack and his mates used to fish at that spot. How nice to be able to sit there, in the sun, and remember a friend. That was an incredible song, Neil, i'd not heard it before. Thank you for such a beautiful post.
