Stunning photo. So good to have the memory with it, too.
DMB, quite literally my favourite band. One of the best tracks you've chosen. 7/8 dreams. Carter Beauford is a god. Saw them live once in Birmingham. Incredible.
Thanks, Nathan! What a coincidence?! I could not have chosen any other song, you see, the image and the song are connected, funny how memory works sometimes. You see, hear or smell something and it takes you back, right to that moment, so vividly, for a second you are there and then the spell breaks. Maybe that's what Foto Friday will be about, Moments in Time.
That album also holds a very special place in my heart, too, with clear memories. I remember listening to it almost on repeat. The Dreaming Tree, Crush, Don't drink the water ... ahh, so good.
Or maybe like with the Elves and Shoemaker, I wake up to newly written pages each day!
Thanks, Kate, much appreciated! Still testing the waters with this new section. Maybe the next one will only be an image and a line, depending on those Elves 😁
I admire your new Foto Friday series - what a creative idea. Your photograph is beautiful - full of liveliness and also loneliness. The song you chose fits well with it.
Thank you, Nadia! "Liveliness and loneliness," or Solitude. Like our dear Schopey once said: “A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
You and I share the same affection for Scotland. I consider myself so fortunate to have ambled solo across the highlands many many times in my long life. My heart remains in the hills of Lochaber still. Here is a two- minute read about a rainy day in Scotland. You will no doubt have experienced something similar with wet highland cows... https://sharronbassano.substack.com/p/you-shall-not-pass
So we do! It has been too long, I must go back soon. I do have Highland Cow photos of course :) maybe I should post a full travel log of that magnificent tour I did.
Thanks for your reply, Alexander. I'd like to go back too, but I am too old now. Still, I can call to mind scores of vivid memories of experiences small and large. I could smell the damp heather in your photograph as if I was standing in it.
😊 yes! Exactly that, memories so powerful, so vivid, we can taste, smell, be transported back. A wonderful thing. Thank you for sharing your moment, Sharron. And indeed, we don’t get any younger, I have to go there soon, take my son on those trails!
Great photo Alexander and a good wee tune to go with it
That journey up through Scotland sounds epic. To see and appreciate all those incredible places must have been a site to behold. Gods own country indeed. Although sorry about the rain 😁
Wonderful last line too
The link between senses and memory is a magical one. It’s like our own personal time travel machine. Listen to a certain song or smell a certain fragrance and you can be back years or even decades before feeling everything once again like you did then, but now with the understanding it’s only a fleeting moment, a photograph, if you will, into the past.
Thanks, Daniel. Caledonia holds a special place in my heart. No matter the amount of rain, although... I never was as wet as on that day at Loch Lomond... Rain came from ALL directions, above and below. Very memorable in its own way 😂

Love the new series.

Perfect! Make it so.

Indeed. It is good to go back and visit from time to time. It's been a while. Next stop... 1999... hmmm. Choices choices.
That’s a nice tree. Even better with accompanying song! It’s like we’re getting a little window into your memory (where the fiction comes from?).

Words of wisdom!!!
Great photo and an even better post-series idea! I look forward to seeing more of these.
I'm actually not very familiar with DMB, but I enjoyed the song! I'll add it to my lab playlist this week.
Thanks, David! I am still experimenting with this. Happy to see I was able to spread the DMB goodness! Excellent DMB lab week incoming! ;)

Thanks, George!
