no.6 : The home country

view map

From Seamus Heaney's Bogland:

We have no prairies
To slice a big sun at evening--
Everywhere the eye concedes to
Encrouching horizon,

Is wooed into the cyclops' eye
Of a tarn. Our unfenced country
Is bog that keeps crusting
Between the sights of the sun.

Fantastic composition...! Reminds me of the back-breaking day I spent peat-cutting....

Awesome shot Máire - how wonderful to have all that water!

Nice words for flatland.

Beautiful scene...love the delicate colors. I agree with Shawn, the photo reaches right in to bring the "crusting" to life.

Image and poem compliment each other. Love the perspective of this shot and the reflections in the water is quite nice. Fine entry!

A typical bogland scene - really like the mountains in the distance.

Guest 06-Nov-2008 15:01
The image lends itself well to the words especially the crusting part. Great Job.
