Scotland Decides …
In or Out, Scotland is and still will be in my Heart
It’s a matter of hours …
It’s a matter of hours …
So many Red and Green flowers …
So many Green and Red clouds rolling over Scotland …
Red or Green ? Green or Red ? Let the Winds Decide …
” I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above ; those that I fight I do not hate,those that I guard I do not love.” W.B.Yeats
Thoughts and Yeats’ “Morbid” Verses used metaphorically … , Intense Cloud Formations, Surrealistic Skies … ,Red or Green, a Yes or a No, and a Big Question Mark …
Sorry I have rather over-dramatised my post for the needs of the situation …
Will I see the UK again or a Small England ?
More clouds started rolling over ” The Temple I was looking for … ” And the Athenian acropolis of Edinburgh lost its sparkling light.

Please Aeolus blow away the dark clouds …
Aeolus,ruler of the winds,blow the dark clouds away and don’t let Pandora open the Box …
Great moments that change the course of History … But I love you Scotland,you are and will be deep in my heart no matter your decision … ” Be thou the rainbow in the storms of “life.” The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray. ” Lord Byron
Thoughts and mingled feelings on Calton Hill near the Athenian acropolis of Edinburgh and under the Dugald Stewart Monument where I draw my long,imaginary lines to connect Civilisations and Cultures …
Dugald Stewart Monument
Am I in Greece or in Scotland ? Am I in Athens under The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates near the Acropolis or in Edinburgh ?
I love you Scotland and all the world loves you ; whatever you decision you won’t lose your greatness …
I’ll keep visiting you every single summer …
I will keep visiting you every single summer no matter your decision … I will keep drawing the long imaginary lines that connect us … I will stay up all night to see what the future holds for you …
To stay in or not to stay in ?
Logic or Emotion ?
A Big Question Mark, a Yes or a No that might add numerous pages to the Books of the Scottish and British History …
Oh ! How Powerful Can Short Words Be !!!
My Space in the Immense Universe 
A great and timely Post, Doda.

Dear Doda… I really wanted Scotland to become a different country, separated from UK… But I read at twitter that most of the people that voted no argued that they loved Scotland, and that’s why they decide upon No…
Anyways I bet I would have been a glorious moment.
Your post here is enlightening and I remember you once mentioned that Pantheon in Scotland…
Majestic and truly engaged writing dear !. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
Love!, Aquileana 😀

What a lovely and passionate post, Doda, and it looks like they will remain as they are. I’ve never been to Scotland, but hopefully someday, I’ll have the chance and I hope you’re content with the outcome, too. I love the Yeats quote and those clouds are gorgeous. Thanks again for sharing and wishing you a wonderful Monday and new week! Love and hugs, Lauren 🙂

Amazing post, Dear Doda! First I had no idea about a scottish parthenon, how cool! And next, I was very taken with Yeats, I didn’t read that quote before:
” I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above ; those that I fight I do not hate,those that I guard I do not love.” W.B.Yeats
But I have sure felt that sentiment in my past! I havent followed the scottish politics, thanks for the very compassionate post and photos! Peace and love and hugs! ❤❤❤;^)
