More Strange Sights up North

Holy Island's 
Redundant Herring Fleet
 ~
 Boats turned up-side-down, 
now making 'shabby chic' sheds.
Recycling has been going on 
for ages here,
'make do and mend',
still smelling a bit 'fishy' though!

I was overjoyed at the sight
of these up-turned boats on the seashore, 
they are relics from the past 
adding enchantment to the island,
an atmosphere of ancient times still lingering on.

Oh I love them too! They are wonderful old boats. Why they are so weathered and worn. I cannot imagine how old they are! I adore the dog in the foreground. It just makes the photo. Great sightseeing Sue! You offer us so much history we would never have known about.

The sheds are wonderful -- quirky but practical. But the adorable pup really brings a spot of joy!

This is gorgeous, Sue. I love these beautiful sheds, even though they might be a bit "fishy". What a clever idea!

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window,  which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise. I take many photographs from this window as I marvel at the sun's energy  to illuminate or in this case reveal through shadows and reflections. This image has been sitting in my file for sometime, it has a hidden message for me that  I knew would one day surface...    Heart broken open by the mystery of you... love stitches together.  Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life  embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing... Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
