What will the new tide bring in, I wonder.
We stand as a whole new unblemished year stretches out before us.
What marks will we make on it?
What shapes shall we carve?
What treasures will we find -
and what challenges will we face?
Let's get ready to fly...
...into the rainbow of 2012.

Lovely post, beautiful photographs - who wouldn't be inspired by waking up to that view. I love the rainbow one, reminds me of the Calf of Mann, another of my very favourite places. I also love the one with the rocks, showing the formation. The red colour and the little man just bring them to life.
ReplyDeleteLovely pix and thoughts for the coming year/s. Have a great New Year up there in the wild Atlantic! Stay warm and safe all. Gott Nytt År, as they say in Sweden!
