Scottish Dawn

I thought we started a good discussion on "Isolation", so here's another image up for discussion.


I was motivated to post this, which never got aired when I first did it, by the feeling of a new dawn after the referendum. Whatever the result, the new dawn arrives, cold and misty, and after the high tension and emotion of the previous day we enter the new world with a sober feeling. To complete the metaphor, there is the warmth of the new day's sun that will soon evaporate that mist. Then we will live the new day, but for this moment.....

So can we express such feelings in an image? Does this image succeed in doing that? All comments welcome!

It's a good image, but on it's own I don't think it conveys your thoughts and emotions. Mind I'm not an art lover so I don't see a lot of things that people attribute to images.

Nice idea John but doesnt match my feelings on the issue. No warmth at all in my feelings. Gritty grainy dark images about to be posted on my facebook page

I think it is completely possible to express feelings with an image - but with the feelings you have expressed in words John - I think you would have needed a video

The mist portrays the fog of bewilderment which now seems to envelope the whole of the UK over where we go from here, particularly with regard to the West Lothian Question..

I suppose there is a contradiction here. In the sense I'm portraying "the cold light of dawn" but in fact that light is often warm, at least in colour. It's the temperature that's cold.

Is it Durham that some think is technically still part of Scotland?

Is it not Durham thats still at war with some country?

Berwick upon Tweed where they speak Border Scots with a Geordie accent.

Thanks David!

Thanks David, after I posted I wondered if it was that Scottish Burgh.

There was once a wall built with Roman money and Geordie blood sweat and tears to keep the Scots and the Picts out. The Geordies (of which I'm one + 1/4 Scots) are thinking of having it repaired and sending all the Scots down here in Corby in Northants home.
(JOKE),:lol.
P.S. The fog on the Tyne is all mine.
CHEERS Vic.

History is always being revised, there is no historical evidence to suggest the Romans didn't build it with Scots labour to contain you lot!

The Scotti were a tribe in Ireland when Hadrian's Wall was built...

I like the image John, even if I don't necessarily see the story.

An often overlooked fact (outside the North East that is) is that much of the English county of Northumberland and a little bit of Cumbria,lie north of Hadrian's Wall.

It's also true that at one time quite a slice of Lancashire and Cumbria were once part of Wales.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll find another to post tomorrow.
