scotland

as all of you might have guessed I'm in love with Scotland .. ha ha you all know that already .. I've been here for almost a week and I'm going to be sad to go ..

so here is the post about a bit of it
i came for the Beltane 2009 festival I've always been one to love the arts. i want to thank my parents i think they have raied all three of us with very open minds ..OK and some of it is the long summers up on hornby that make you open to things in life . this festival has been happening for about 35 years here in Scotland on Carlton hill click on it to find out more about the place .

Beltane is the welcoming of spring and summer it involves well allot of nude dancing and is a interesting display of the arts and pagan in one .. i have to say I've been wanting to see one of these things for most of my life and now have done it

it starts with the fire being lite on the roman arch and then goes around in a circle for all the different points . i was going to fallow the actors around but then thought it might be useless considering that you are in a crowd of 20000 people and trying to get some good photos is hard without a telephoto lens .. also a great flash too .. ha ha so i listened to some of the Scots and stayed at one point and waited well it was worth it as i saw lots of what i wanted to see the great marriage and the rebirth of the green man it was great to see it ....
so i also have a confession i think I'm a am more of who i am meant to be .. so on with the show.. i should really just link to the website so you can see more of the better pics ..

highlights were
getting swashed by a rude polish girl who thought i was a nice seat
met Judy cabbages and a nice few Scots read code for that one ..
so here are the pics linked from the website for you all to see here
