Silver Hebridean Sea from Mull.

 

Poem.

 

Sea of liquid mercury.

Setting sun dipping down below a grey, alto-stratus sky.

The dappled gleam of rippled quicksilver is the stuff of Tolkien fantasies.

Volcanic island slabs, seemingly set on the edge of the ocean,

on the edge of time, for ever.

A view from Gribun Cliffs on the Isle of Mull

that is timeless.

Beautiful.

Captivating.

Preserving such moments for posterity

is the magic and power of a simple image.
