" Take me away from this city, To where I can be on my own.
We wanted a good life and now that its done, I just want to be left alone,
Ill still remember your kind word and ill rememer your name,
For Ive felt your twisting and turning, And for me it just wont be the same"
So Im leavin` here next Sunday mornin`, To a place where I know I can hear,
The cry of the gulls and the sea on the shore, With all of the things I hold dear.
And if ever I tire of this quiet life, Ill just walk right back up that hill,
And Ill head out that road and stick out my thumb,
For someone is waiting there still! "

Ive used a lot of poetic license on this poem and changed the words a good bit, as it fits my past life accurately which still hurts a bit, and and always will, that's being honest!
The words and idea are partly borrowed from a wonderful song by Liam Reilly with a group called "Bagatelle" and was called "Summer in Dublin" It was a huge hit here and in the UK and deservedly so in my opinion!
I hope you like this late evening photo which I took from Howth Headland through the Sycamore trees, across the sound to Irelands eye, County Dublin. I have wonderful childhood memories of this place as we used to holiday here as children, on Howth head. I spent a lot of time on the island and travelling up and down to "the hill" on the open top electric tram that used to run there. Sadly gone now!
It took me over 50 years to get back to see it again and its still as beautiful as ever. Its another one of "my places!" Lucky me!!
Do hope your week ahead is cracking!!!!
Thank you everybody!!!!
Update; Wow! Im very touched by the reaction to this.
I don't know if its the photo or the words, but hopefully both.
Im pleased with it and inspired and amazed by all you great genuine flickr people!

Yes, its that tree. Yes, I waited in a 40 minute line queue to shoot it this time. Yes, I do feel like I need to confess to the photographic community my sins of horrible un-originality. Whats that? Didn't I just post an image of this tree a few days ago? Well, yes. No, mine does not look like the others. Ok, maybe it kind of does. This image is taken about a week after the post I made previously. This tree changes colors fast. I wanted to post this one too just to show the contrasts between the two images. I actually had to clone out a lens peeking into the frame from the guy next to me. Ahhhh, the solitude of landscape photography, just you, the wind, the trees, the nature, and 40 other dudes with cameras that are way better than yours Grrr. Happy Fall.

I saw the potential for this shot a while ago, and have been waiting for the right opporutnity ever since. Looking towards Wrights Farm near Combe, Berkshire, UK. HDR and Stitched.
This tree made me think of the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter. It's not a Willow, but it does look like it could have magical powers, don't you think?
The Hayfield ’20 Trees’ again, taken from a different angle….the village of Hayfield can be seen through the trees. The original of this wasn’t great as I’d shot pretty much straight into the low sun, but I quite liked it in black and white.
Hope everyone’s had a great weekend- I am 4 days into Sugar Free February and haven’t killed anyone yet, so all is well :)
