Moss and the Green Man (PiPs)

Captured at Achray Forest and this moss covered fence caught my attention. Just around the corner in the top of the picture I turned to take another look as we were going back to the car and made a discovery. As you can see in the PiPs this is clearly what skiers do when there is no snow - they head for the forest:-)))))))). A strange sight indeed. The Green Man is a figure of folk culture and is a symbol of nature, spring and rebirth I have added a song called 'The Green Man' by Martin Donnelly www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKfLcCKdSEg This is much nicer on full screen. I would appreciate it if you could view this large. Many thanks

The statue by local sculptor Adam Brown stands looking out to sea at Port William and has a dedication to W H Davies' poem 'Leisure' " What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?—" The link is 'Stop and Stare' by One Republic www.youtube.com/watch?v=45hn-OcwMUE I have added a second link- 'We Have All The Time In The World' by Louis Armstrong, which seems to fit with the relaxed feel of the poem and this green man who has all the time in the world.. 'We have all, the time in the world Time enough for life To unfold....' www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMxRDTfzgpU For Sight and Sound
