If I could change one thing about #Scotland it wouldn't be the weather (what would this place be like if it were warm?!) or independence (we'll get there, I'm sure). It's the religion. From the very first weeks I was here, I, and later my children and students, have confronted horrible prejudice at every turn. Colleagues have threatened to resign rather than "working with a Buddhi…

A picturesque rural scene unfolds in this image, capturing the charm of the countryside. In the foreground, a shaggy-haired animal with long horns stands prominently in a lush, green meadow. Its presence adds a sense of tranquility and natural beauty to the scene.

The meadow is vibrant and well-maintained, with patches of grass and wildflowers creating a rich tapestry of green hues. The animal appears calm and content, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere.

In the background, a quaint house with …

"Rest and be thankful" spot in #Scotland,
Before and after the snow (2 days ago vs today)

Photo of a hilly landscape with a road curving downwards surrounded by mossy and rocky green- yellow land, green coniferous trees on the right and several mountains on each side, also green - brown but with snowy tops. This is all below a bright blue sky with only one small cloud on the right.

Photo of the same landscape from almost the same point of view, but it looks like it's in black and white because it is entirely covered in snow, only the trees that were on the right remain dark, the sky is now fully cloudy, hiding most of the snowy peaks in the distance

Photo of a Highland cow in a muddy pen, she is quite short but bulky, looking at me through her long hair, with round ears and pointy horns.
On the right side, a few more cows are eating in their feeder. A hilly landscape is in the background with bushes and pine trees.

For todays #fotovorschlag 'Sitzgelegenheit' / 'seating',
I chose a photo from a trip to #scotland and its highlands years ago.
We so enjoyed the history, landscape people and the haggis.
Best greetings to all the scottish people out there

A tranquil and picturesque scene unfolds in this image, featuring a historic castle set against a dramatic sky. The castle, constructed from stone, exudes an air of timeless grandeur with its turrets, arched windows, and a flag flying atop one of the towers. The architecture suggests a rich history, adding a sense of mystery and charm to the scene.

In the foreground, a well-maintained green lawn stretches out, providing a vibrant contrast to the stone structure. A striking red bench is positio…

A dramatic and atmospheric landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the rugged beauty of a historic castle ruin set against a sweeping natural backdrop. The castle, constructed from dark stone, stands in partial ruin, its weathered walls and towers evoking a sense of history and timelessness. The structure is nestled amidst lush greenery, with trees and shrubs adding a touch of life to the otherwise austere stone.

In the foreground, a calm body of water stretches out, reflecting the castle a…

My #silentsunday contribution is not mountains this time.
This is a memory to our visit to #scotland. Kylemore Abbey to be precise. We have this photo printed on the wall. And to me it's indeed "silence" that I feel with this photo

A tranquil and picturesque scene unfolds in this serene natural setting. Two wooden boats rest peacefully on the calm surface of a shallow, reflective pond. The boats, with their classic design and striped patterns, add a touch of rustic charm to the scene. Their reflections shimmer gently in the still water, creating a mirror-like effect.

The pond is nestled amidst lush greenery, with tall grasses and reeds swaying gently at the water's edge. In the background, a dense thicket of trees and sh…
