The day had brewed herself into a blend of light and dark, and now here at her very edge all was revealed. Away from the tightly woven centre, gaps and spaces opened allowing golden light to pour through in unexpected, unplanned patterns. She no longer had the energy to hold it all together, and so the mysterious chaos of liminal space seeped in, and with it the wild beauty of the edge.
The golden horizon, where the triple edges of earth, sky and day meet, offers the potential of freshly dreamed change. Anything is possible from the edges and liminal spaces, where nothing is fixed or certain. The next moment is unknown, and with this, hope can pour into our hearts, along with its shadow fear. All is changing in a beautiful dance between light and dark, and certainty is dissolved into the spaces. Do we dare to be swept in to the beauty, releasing our threads of certainty into the challenge of change.
The day surrendered and golden light poured unbridled across the water and the sky. Liquid treasure from the distant horizon, dazzled us with a velvet wave of hope and promise. Swept into the eternal unseen night, lying just beyond the curve of earth, we fell into the golden river of the falling sun flowing into eternity.
You can see endless more horizons at the weekly photo challenge here.

Wonderful posts! Sorry I was away so long!
Pictures which surely could only have been taken in Fairyland!
Well the veil is thin between fairyland and Lothian…..in fact most of Scotland 🙂
I believe it;
Unbelievably incredible images. Impressive words. I have a feeling I’m going to love your blog!
And I’m sure I’m going to love having you follow along. What great compliments you give 🙂
“Wild beauty of the edge” – that could be a blog name! In the first picture, I can see a golden temple in the light that’s breaking thru the clouds…
Congratulations Seonaid on your beautiful photos. The first one is truly spectacular.
Sind sehr schöne Bilder und die Wolken.Lieber Gruß und Freundschaft.Gislinde
They are beautiful , all your captures, dear Seonaid. I totally agree with Northumbrianlight; it looks like a miracle is about to happen in the first one. Great work!
Bis hug to you from Bonn

Beautiful photographs – you just caught those moments of light where you can see the rays of the sun so delicately in the sky and across the waves…
The first and last are totally enthralling, Seonaid, and your lovely prose binds them together. 🙂
AH~ mazing as always! I LOVE your work!
Wow, what a gorgeous comment…I love it! And thank you 🙂
So very beautiful.
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful light in all of them especially in the first one. I was trying to find your Dubrovnik post, Seonaid, but couldn’t. Would you share the link?
Sure, it’s called Patterns in Lines: Dubrovnik
It’s posted right after the Venice shots 🙂 I’m not sure if I can add links via the iPad ….will add later from my PC if you need it.
Love this, Seonaid. “A velvet wave of hope and promise” is such a beautiful phrase. Gorgeous pics! 🙂
It’s great to hear you liked the words, and of course the photos 🙂 The light really did feel like velvet.
Stunning horizon images!
So glad you enjoyed them Amy. We do have a rather drama prone seascape here 🙂
Best of the day 🙂
Very kind 🙂
🙂 your welcome
I think you and I were very much on the same page with this weeks challenge! Wonderful images 🙂
I agree Sarah, it’s funny how often that can happen. Your images were also wonderful…especially the rainbow 🙂
Wonderful! Kind regards from Austria.
Aw thank you, and warm regards back from Scotland.
If I had to imagine the paradise your first photo could be a good example! Great! 🙂
Wow, you like your paradise dramatic 🙂 it was very beautiful to watch
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it several times now … you live in a most beautiful place (but, you know that). I don’t know whether your words do it … or whether the photos alone are responsible … but your images always give nature personality. In this particular series the descending shafts of light look to be cleansing the environment, or perhaps energizing it, and preparing it for you another day. Thanks. D
What a great comment David. Giving nature personality is exactly my intention….it’s what nature fills me with when I’m out there amongst her 🙂
I love the idea if the light cleansing the landscape….really lively emotional image, thank you.
You have captured a beautiful sky. I love the drama of the sky in the first photo.
Thanks Colline, it really was a stunning end to the day.
Very poetic, very beautiful. Horizons always intrigue with their tease of what is beyond
So true Kellie, and I’m sure you will have seen some beautiful new horizons on your recent travels.
Beautiful as always 😀
Why thank you sir 🙂
Fabulous as ever, the first looks as though miracles are about to happen.
That was exactly my feeling as I stood and watched. I’m hoping the horizon is rolling in some golden miracles of change right now 🙂
