There's a very famous (to us anyway) Scottish ballad called 'The Twa Corbies' which takes the form of a dialogue between two crows speaking about eating a dead knight. I wonder if any other culture would have a poem like that as part of their heritage?
Or maybe it's just that I see beauty in weird things, even tattered plastic on barbed wire against the rising sun.
Ah well, winter arrived in Scotland! Snowed here on 1st December.
Eerie black birds, a darkened sky, autumn leaves and a skeleton... What do these images want to say?!
ReplyDeleteThat I'm Scottish maybe ;-)

May you have an easy winter!
ReplyDeleteSnow has already covered some parts of Romania (the mountainous areas), and it may arrive in Bucharest this week.
