Fly like a raven
Black honey into the night
Soft like the air beneath
A swan in her flight
Then return back home to bed
Bring the dancing stars
Sleep and dream of a white wolf howling
And know that I am near
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Let's dream together you and I
Oh, close your eyes
We will fly
Dreaming together you and I
The moon has sailed
In a silver gown of stars
That's long but not forever
Soon our love will rise as mine
And sing to the shadows
Tomorrow we shall rise with the dawn
Kiss the flowers and blooms
But now lie still as the wind and listen
For I will come to you with the foot steps of morning
It's fantastic to see Ravens making such a good recovery over the past 20 years or so. They are now a reasonably common sight over the moors of Derbyshire. I photographed this individual as it flew over Curbar Gap and headed off down a mist-covered Derwent valley, with its distinctive cronking call echoing off the gritstone edges.
Ravens are classic birds of wild places and, in my experience, tend to give humans a wide berth. So I was surprised whist sat on the summit cairn of Cairngorm on an early morning walk last week to be joined by this majestic individual. It hopped to within metres of where I was sat before eventually flying off with its typical cronking call. Unfortunately, there was a small boulder between me and the bird which meant I couldn't get a clean image of it from beak to tail, hence this crop.
Raven - Corvus corax
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste.
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature.

“People believed that when someone dies, a raven takes their soul to the land of the dead, but sometimes something bad happens, and it brings great sadness, and the soul cannot rest in peace. And sometimes, just sometimes, the raven can bring back the soul to mend the evil. "
The Crow
...
“La gente creía que cuando alguien muere, un cuervo lleva su alma a la tierra de los muertos, pero a veces pasa algo malo, y trae mucha tristeza, y el alma no puede descansar en paz. Y a veces, solo a veces, el cuervo puede traer de vuelta el alma para reparar el mal. "

I first used a Fractalius preload I never use, then processed it though a NIK filter, though I can't remember which. Improv processing.

Thanks for Viewing.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huginn_and_Muninn
In Norse mythology, Huginn (from Old Norse "thought") and Muninn (Old Norse "memory" or "mind") are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world, Midgard, and bring information to the god Odin...
O'er Mithgarth Hugin and Munin both
Each day set forth to fly;
For Hugin I fear lest he come not home,
But for Munin my care is more
Ravens are becoming a more common sight on the moors near Sheffield. These two were cronking overhead as I was walking along Derwent Edge. I waited until I could frame them above the Salt Cellar.
