It starts terribly dark and it stays quite dim,
but the light available does get eke a way in.
There’s a wee trickle of goodly bird noise
and my voice hopefully discreetly deploys
a sound stratagem whisper friendly poised
so that the extremely fine feathered now gathered wild wonders
within their reed, sedge and slightly muddy safe splendid slumbers
and my wondrous hide joining and together enjoying bonded pleasance
continue heedless of my film embracing photographic personal presence

A Secret Source to improve the Light Source.
The camera settings record a brighter scene than that which is seen by the human eye and I can be heard saying the above, “A Secret Source to improve the Light Source,” at the end of the film. Pixel power searches into the dark to treasure receive the waiting wonders so as to best record them for later and for further enjoyment. Almost nothing to see here and what is to be seen is scene generated by A Secret Source to improve the Light Source with a wider eye to take in what is flying by and an electronic ear saving the wings on air and on water with hidden honk and silhouetted cry and a more sensitive sensor for experiencing the loch the shore listening in without reply and everything and all together under the intense colours of the sky.
The whole experience is the whole experience, with wonky horizons and shaky movements. I am now an ambassador of the wonky as I am at the permanent potential to go to the wonk and to glory in the results as age and injury grip me tighter and longer than loved ones ever have. The bad filming here is intentional for this to be a true record of the experience that still stirs me as I look back on it like a slice of repeatable immersive Electro Shamanism.
The end of the day is a fabulous break down. Everything of light that has been completed and the gentle encroach of night offers some respite before the glorious wonders woken before dawn all start again into the more active hours of the day. Please be gentle on my classification of, “repeatable immersive Electro Shamanism,” that is what I am experiencing on looking back into the fantastic after glow and fabulous sound garden of twilight. This is after sunset at RSPB Scotland Loch Leven nature reserve.

There is a cloud with an unbelievable luminescence, you may wish to watch the proceedings witch include the progress in and up the Broch all the way to view the both amazing and as stated unbelievable cloud. This is an awe inspiring place, passed by many on the busy A9 and also enjoyed by lots too as these time worn stones are in a prime location now from the busy highway for the motor vehicle traveller and always upon the sea routes for raiding and trading, for living and loving within this once vibrant community firmly established here. Visible from the structure is the bay that most likely caused the Broch to be built and just a little further along from some centuries later there is the still imposing Dunrobin Castle & Gardens in view just to the South weaving a fantasy air bourne drifting notions of lineage from Brochs to Castles via shared safe dwellings to Clan Centres of influence and strategic importance throughout a much changing history shaped out potential history.

Now is the film-time of our Garderobe of discontent adjunct to the now sealed Garderobe of discontent Rosslyn Castle in Roslin Glen Scotland
There have been modifications and new building work at Rosslyn Castle in Roslin Glen and the heavens above are no longer visible up through the Garderobe of discontent from the former midden below. The Sallyport contains root words of jump and door and the jump door was close to this dump shute. From former midden and possibly the groaning moat sometimes answered with a wash of the Roskelyn the swirling waters that carved out the foundational rock for the castle all the way with a fall to the stars.

It might be too late for many and far too early for some. The quiet bird noises have been left quiet and distant. The window movement is mentioned before the sound of the movement, not at all dissimilar to an indicated Musical Movement and stop there on movement comparisons please. The whole experience is the whole experience, with wonky horizons and shaky movements. I am now an ambassador of the wonky as I am at the permanent potential to go to the wonk and to glory in the results as age and injury grip me tighter and longer than loved ones ever have.
