wild and free

I wish I was on yonder moor,
And my good dog with me,
Through the bonny heather-flower
Wading, wild and free:
Wild and free;
Wild and free;
Where the moorland breezes blow.

Oh, the wilderness is my delight,
Where the whirring red grouse springs,
From his heathery nest on the mountain's
breast,
With the dew upon his wings:
Wild and free;
Wild and free;
Where the moorland breezes blow.

At the gloaming hour, in grove and bower,
The throstle chants with glee;
But the plover sings his evening hymn
To the lone waste, wild and free:
Wild and free;
Wild and free;
Where the moorland breezes blow.

On the heathy hills I'll take my rest,
And there my bed shall be;
With the lady-fern above my breast,
Waving wild and free;
Wild and free;
Wild and free ;
Where the moorland breezes blow.

Looks like the Elephants are about to cross the wall ;-)

rivetting POV...what an uplifting location...V

Nice lead in to the elephant trees,lovely contrast of grass one side of the wall and moorland on the other.

Martin Lamoon		23-Mar-2012 09:05
Superb. This is a great shot with the wall leading away, yet not overpowering the photograph. The colour is excellent. A big vote for this one.

I can't help but recognise the differences in both skyline views...the modern wind turbines and the aged stone wall...love this shot.

Sheila		23-Mar-2012 00:46
Lovely afternoon light on that grand view.

lou_rozensteins		23-Mar-2012 00:06
Wonderful light, and a great composition.

Guest		22-Mar-2012 23:48
beautiful but lonely too, a bareness where it may be hard to till the soil and make a life

Patricia Kay		22-Mar-2012 23:21
Wonderful expanse of beautiful countryside Johnny...BV

Very well composed shot of the famous, because of you, elephants.

Antonis Sarantos		22-Mar-2012 21:48
This fence pulls you towards the image! Very well done.

Chris		22-Mar-2012 21:01
Looks like a cracker of a day for you. So peaceful.

Ann...		22-Mar-2012 20:27
Splendid.

Chris Morton		22-Mar-2012 20:19
both poem and location made for you! The composition has worked out really well...a lot of turbines there on the horizon

Zak		22-Mar-2012 20:15
Nice light up there!

Faye White		22-Mar-2012 20:12
I'd love to be there for a while. :)

Phillip Normanton		22-Mar-2012 20:01
The elephants have gone for a walk along Hadrian's Wall? :o)

Brian Samuel		22-Mar-2012 19:59
Loads and loads of freedom in all that space.

Al Chesworth		22-Mar-2012 19:54
Nice one of the elephants, where's Ozzy.
