How I look like

On the summit of Cheviot, Northumberland, May 2006

Summer 2005, on the retreat from Mt’a Shani in the Georgian Caucasus, with my trousers ragged
What I sing, alone on lonely hills
 Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow; Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods; Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe; My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Robert Burns – 1759 – 1796
