All alone in the wild, surrounded by the green
Kissed by the rays of beauty, that on the ground are seen
Falling, falling through the trees, their branches now spread wide
Over the blanket of pure beauty, that covers the countryside
Where is found a seat of love, surrounded by the green
Kissed by the rays of light, that on the ground now stream
I see, long after A.D. 2000, cities laid out for ten to twenty million inhabitants, spread over enormous areas of countryside, with
buildings that will dwarf the biggest of today’s and notions of traffic and communication that we should regard as fantastic to the point of madness.
- Oswald Spengler, Decline of The West, 1926
Left or right, which way to go
Along the paths, as the light does flow
Down through the trees, green and high
As you follow the rays, up in the sky
Tempting you left, tempting you right
Searching for love found in the night
That is found at the end of the day
Along the path that leads the way
Hidden below, you will find a seat
On the path walked by the feet
A haven of peace, that does hide
Deep in the wild countryside
Where lips they kiss, eyes they meet
In a moment of love, so sweet
On the seat, that now does hide
Among the green of the countryside
This is the Salem mansion. It is located in a part of Thessaloniki which was known as the “Countryside district”, outside the city’s walls. Read about the villa's history and my new series, in my new blog post. nickiupstairs.com/countryside-district-en/

Break the chain that does bind
Smash the walls that you find
Block your path , keep you inside
The prison cell , where you hide
Waiting to finally, be set free
Waiting for your eyes, there to see
Hope rise up, above the distant trees
Happiness blow upon the breeze
As you break, the chains that bind
Cross the fields, until you find
Freedom waiting, there for you
Under skies that forever blue
I came across this one out in the countryside yesterday. Oh my goodness, sooooo cute, a purr-monster and into everything. And those ears!!!!! ❤ It was so hard not to put him (I think a "him") in my backpack and bring him home! But his mum still wants him....
They appear to be a family of countryside ferals, who are lucky to have food and water left out for them. His much quieter ginger brother and another older kitten appeared from a tree hollow, but they were much shyer. This little guy though, what a superstar! (And yes, there are many, many more photos of him!)
The building of the Glenfinnan Viaduct started in 1897 and was completed in 1898, although the railway line extension from Fort William to Mallaig was not actually completed in full and opened until 1901. Until the line was fully operational the Glenfinnan Viaduct was just used to transport materials across the valley.

This was taken from the side of the country road that goes from Brixworth, out of shot to the right, towards the village of Naseby. It was near Naseby in 1645 that the major battle of the English Civil War took place. Eventually, this led to the beheading of the King, and a strict parliament with Oliver Cromwell taking the role of Lord Protector. He died in 1658. The monarchy was re-established in 1660, with Charles II (son of the executed king) taking the throne. Royalists got their revenge on Cromwell by disinterring his body from Westminster Abbey, hanging it at Tyburn for a few hours, and then chopping off his head and placing it on a long pole on the roof of the building that was the scene of his father's execution.

Across the wild countryside
Where the green across the land does ride
Where trees they bloom and horses graze
Through the seasons and the days
Feeding on natures growing green
That across the land is now seen
Sheep enjoying the view over the lovely Powys countryside Mid Wales...
Thank you for the views comment's and favourites my friends, they are much appreciated...
Through the doorway now is seen
The hidden treasures of wild green
Where the trees, stretch up above
Echoing with the sounds of love
As passions glory, it is shared
Clothes discarded, skin is bared
In the forest dressed in green
Where natures treasures they are seen
Through the doorway, open wide
Leading to the wild countryside
The old post by the jetty has become a regular spot for our local cormorants and shags.

A floating hat, i do see
On the head of the Winter tree
Dressed in the purest white
Dancing slowly with the light
Above the head of the Winter tree
A floating hat, i do see
Dry and down , shadows fall
The ground below, it does call
For the kiss of the sun
That across the sky does run
Placing rays upon the Earth
Where creation, it gave birth
To the tree , now fallen and bare
That no longer rules the wild air
This is the countryside near Aughton, in the north-west of Lancashire. The city of Lancaster is just a few miles away, out of shot to the right. Below us is the valley of the River Lune, while on the other side of the valley is the Forest of Bowland - a former hunting area. This is very similar to the Yorkshire Dales but is far less well known.
