‘Speckled Hill’…

Isle of Arran, Sunday, 30th October 2022

***

***

The mountain in question

carries the epithet ‘speckled’ which is an adjective

often applied to the fairy-folk in these parts.

***

***

That being the case we continue

circling in the hope the hill will eventually put in an appearance.

***

***

But if anything the ‘Speckled One’

appears to be sucking more and more cloud

into its ambit and wrapping itself up in it.

***

***

It may be that we have done something to upset it?

***

***

But if we have then that something remains elusive.

***

***

All this circling puts me in mind

of a spaghetti western.

Hence the preponderance of ‘wide-screen’ shots.

The Good…

The Bad…

And the Ugly…
