In Memoriam

Today it is 500 hundred years since the tragic battle of Flodden took place. King James IV of Scotland had come south of the border and was killed in the clash to become the last monarch from the British Isles to die in battle.

A moments silence is in order…

This photo depicts the monument that was erected on Piper’s Hill to remember the fallen of both sides. The memorial cross is positioned approximately where the English formed their battle lines. A plaque on the north side of the monument states:

FLODDEN
1513
TO THE BRAVE OF BOTH NATIONS
ERECTED 1910

More information about the battle can be found in my Flodden index.

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail and mankind the vessel.

Sit & Rest a While

I am going to be busy for a few days, so take a seat and enjoy the view. I may be quiet but regular posts will still appear below this one…

If the view and the posts are not enough you could always pick up your favourite drink from the honesty bar in the lounge to help you soak up the atmosphere.

Enjoy

This weeks prompt was Orange which made me think of autumn leaves and Halloween pumpkins. I do have photos that fit with that thought but as always I like to stretch my imagination.

So I present to you the Summer sun…
