Natures beauty, i did see

Between the frame, wild and free

Seducing me to explore

Walk its path and find more

Of nature beauty, wild and free

That between the frame, i now see

The Gates of Melancholy

The Gates of Malincholy

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.

Looking out on the countryside

For the treasures, that do hide

As they call, as they sing

Ready to take to the wing

In the skies, where they will ride

Hunting for treasures in the countryside

Buffalos and sacred temples, Khajurâho.

This shows many of the elements that make up life in the Cotswolds - basically a farming community. There are sheep which have a huge place in Cotswold history. Then there are the horsey things, the fences, and hedges - not just to delineate the fields, but also for the hunting which is so much a part of the local community and makes sure that the fields, hedges and fences are properly maintained. You can also see the tractor marks in the fields that show that the land is well tended too...

The Cotswolds, like much of the British countryside, is not really wild - it has been manipulated to produce what you see today, to produce food etc, over many, many generations. The ancient. forests that used to co ver that land can only be seen in a few places, and many of them were crafted to suit the ancient kings who liked to hunt.

Also - how narrow can roads be and still be considered to have two lanes?

One of my favorite places to go for a nice walk. /Vaxjo Sweden.

The opportunity to travel the world and wander through the countryside is a miracle in this life.

This is the countryside near Ribblehead in the Yorkshire Dales. The flat-topped fell in shadow on the far right is Ingleborough. At 2,372 feet it is the second-highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales and is frequently climbed as part of the Three Peaks walk. The nearest fells to the camera are Park Fell (1,847 feet) and Simon Fell (2,133 feet), and they are in effect a continuation of the ridge from Ingleborough.

From a long ride in the VA country back roads.

As the morning rises in the East

Hungry mouths begin to feast

Like wild dots they are seen

Devouring the dew filled , growing green

Eating everything they can see

Under the eye of the distant tree

Stood in distance with its arms spread wide

As morning rises in the countryside

After an unusually dry April this waterfall or spout near the start of the River Garnock is a lttle dry than nromal.
