This, dear internet, is Glen Lyon or Gleann Lìomhann in Gaelic and is the longest Glen in Scotland.
With a name similar to that of the king of beasts, this is truly a royal glen.
Where mighty glaciers carved their way through the ancient mountains and hills of the land Scotland once was, now meanders the river Lyon peacefuly as a faint reminder of the forces that were once at work here, forming the landscape.
It’s vistas like this that should put you, human being, back to earth, with your two feet on the ground.
You are not that important.. Just a speck, a grain, a section of time, passing by.
But yet, it looks as if our race scars the planet more than the glaciers of times past have done. Those mighty ice rivers took their time carving out this beautiful landscape for us to behold and what do we do with it? We consume.. Consume more than we need. In only the past century so much nature has been sacrificed to still our unsupressable hunger for more that we are now almost on a path of no return.
So human being.. Take some time to contemplate on your behavior. Try to restore to the equilibrium that you see in this landscape. Don’t consume until there is nothing left.
Help us find this delicate balance again..
