<p>Poem.<br />
<br />
Ethereal, mystical, other- worldly, fantastic.<br />
The low patchwork of clouds rise from the warmer evening waters and shroud this western fringe in a grey veil of gentle, fading light.<br />
<br />
Like scattered stars Tobermory’s street lights pierce the gloom of its south-facing hills.<br />
The dying embers of a setting sun back-light the peaks of Ardnamurchan.<br />
<br />
Everywhere, indigo-blue-grey hills delineate a timeless silhouetted beauty as a golden sky fades into the death-throes of night.<br />
<br />
The wooded hills south of Mull’s capital march like soldiers down to the multi-coloured houses of Main Street much loved by children under its pseudonym of Balamory.<br />
Colours now lost in the impending gloom.<br />
<br />
Down to a bay bristling with legends of stricken Spanish galleons and sunken treasure, near an island blessed with serenity, where the wonder of wildlife dominates, to the delight of us, the human spectators.</p>

Where The Journey Begins<br />

<br />
Photographic concept:<br />
The great mourning of their loved ones who sacrificed in the warfare. The passage of time may not erase the pain for those who recall the tragic moments of the past.<br />
<br />
Some veterans felt too overwhelmed to be photographed. The idea of capturing the back of some veterans is a form of respect for the moment of remembrance. Meanwhile, the body gestures may continue to deliver the purpose and moments to remember each sacrificed soul.<br />
<br />
May the photoshoot not disturb the significant moment of some veterans who were mourning those who are worth remembering, not only once a year, but when we enjoy the freedom they fought for daily.<br />
<br />
If anyone who served with the Gordon Highlanders would like a copy of the photos, please message me. Thank you.</p>
