‘Dawn’
Between the sea and clouds
a slow-motion wink
from the eye of heaven

Post-excavation Work…
Another article which shows how much post-excavation work matters….

Which reminded me of ….
Thoughts about the drain, discovered at the Ness
It’s not just Sky-stones,
Carved Balls,
Painted Walls.
It’s the basics of life.
Making, Breaking.
The fragments which can say so much,
To those who pay attention.
Butchery – How?
Placement – Why?
Careful noting of the smallest detail,
Builds the picture.
The beauty, matters.
Beauty, simply, does.
“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or
believe to be beautiful.”
The principle, works down the ages.
Beauty, mystery, and…..practicality.
LIFE.
Bernie Bell August 2015
