Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway bathed in evening light. The steps in the rock with ho handrail made me think of the track 'Watch Your Step' by Anita Baker

Highland cows on the road from Elgol, on Skye. By the look of the road behind them they have walked for miles. My link is therefore 'Miles From Our Home' by the Cowboy Junkies

The statue by local sculptor Adam Brown stands looking out to sea at Port William and has a dedication to W H Davies' poem 'Leisure'
" What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—"
The link is 'Stop and Stare' by One Republic

I have added a second link- 'We Have All The Time In The World' by Louis Armstrong, which seems to fit with the relaxed feel of the poem and this green man who has all the time in the world..
'We have all, the time in the world
Time enough for life
To unfold....'

Smoke and Mirrors! That is what I thought of when I saw this scene. The two rainbow arches gave a mirror effect and the fluffy cloud across the top looked like a puff of smoke. I am therefore adding the track 'Abracadabra' by the Steve Miller Band

End of the day and the boats have returned to Burnmouth Harbour. Fishermen's cottages at Partinghall, now mostly holiday lets, hug the cliffs in the background. Rusty chains secure the gap in the fence.

Dunbar Harbour, East Lothian, nestled at the foot of the Castle Dunbar ruins. In 1567 an Act of Parliament decreed that the castle should be destroyed following the Battle of Carberry Hill. It has been a ruin ever since then.
