Show Me The Way

Show Me The Way
Taken at the Mull of Galloway on a beautiful, hot day. On the left of the picture you can just see the foghorn and a small but very necessary fence leading down towards it

Best viewed large, I think. Thank you

The music I have added is Pete Frampton and 'Show Me the Way'

Believe it or not, but I think I can find the way myself as your photo shows it clearly ;-))
But seriously, this a beautiful photo of past summer days...and once again this reminds me of Kirrin Island and the Famous Five :-)

The song is cool, too!

HFF, Carol, and have a wonderful weekend!
17 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Thank you very much Edna. It is a pretty well trodden route and from here we could see the foghorn which you can't from the main road up to the lighthouse. I am sure the Famous Five would have chosen this path!! Usually when we have visited it has been windy as it is quite high up but it was beautiful that day, perfectly calm and sunny.

I am pleased you like the song too - a blast from the past I enjoyed listening to.

HFF and have a great weekend
17 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Ecobird club
Oh yes, the Famous Five would have. If I'd walk on such a path I'd almost expect them to turn up somewhere ;-))

As far as songs go...the blast from the past is often better than most music composed after the year 2000 :-)
17 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Well I must say I have to agree!! My younger daughter and I have been on a bit of a nostalgia kick listening to old songs. I am loving it!

My birthday is not a great event and if it is always pleasant to receive greetings it is not an obligation, so no need to apologize… and I am the one who almost never notice birthdays… so no guilt please!
Thanks a lot and enjoy life

I will because you asked me.
But I hope that you will talk and tell me why this nostalgia for the North of your country.
Maybe because I stayed too long ?
Maybe I was too young.
Happy weekend Carol.

Thank you very much Jose.

For me every time we go back it feel like going home. I love the scenery and the history and the people are warm and friendly. We only ever stay for two weeks and it never feels like long enough.

Thank you very much Steve. Yes you are correct. This is where the film was made. It was based on a true story, as was the book, 'The Lamplighters' which I have recently read, although the author 'moved' the location to Cornwall for her book

Hi Carol
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
I remember seeing the same in Roger's gallery too.
Wonderful and interesting composition showing the path, and then the lighthouse thrusting up into the sky!
Great colours
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thanks you very much Peter. Yes, it is not a surprise that our pictures are similar, - we go to the same places and like, and photograph a lot of the same things. It is quite fun to see the small differences for us! I am pleased you like the photo anyway

Ecobird club has replied to Roger Bennion club
Thank you very much Roger. It is strange how we all remember certain songs. I have been having a trip down memory lane listening to some of his music again, but have to say this is one of the tracks that stick with me.

Thank you very much Percy. I am pleased you like it. I love it up there , - but the steps down to the foghorn are a bit much for me as I really don't like heights! At least from here I could get the foghorn in the shot, - safely!!

Vinyl is making quite a comeback Dominique. I stubbornly hold on to my cd collection. Digital is fine but I like to play a real cd. I imagine that vinyl sounds awesome. I do not own a Pete Frampton cd but am looking to buy one.

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you very much Rosa. I like this path to the lighthouse with the view of the foghorn and the sea views and I love the rugged landscape around it, particularly the old stone walls and heather and long grasses.

Have a lovely evening. The bad weather from last weekend has settled into a cold and foggy week. I hope it is better where you are
