The first verse of ‘Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm’, translated by Jenny Wahl: My native land, my joy – delight, How fair thou art – how bright! For nowhere in the world around Can ever such a place be found So well belov'd, from sense profound, My native country dear! #Estonia

In this colour photograph we can see Dumbarton FC’s stadium as viewed from Dumbarton Rock. Hence, it is quite some way below us. To the ground’s left is the River Leven, while beyond the venue is Dumbarton and, further away, hills, mountains and clouds.

This amazing find inspired me to make this wee illustration, I found it very evocative to imagine the early medieval churchyard at Govan could be a hive of activity and craft workers. Not just stone carving but jewellery as well

an illustration of a woman in early medieval clothing working on a piece of shale jewellery, in the top right corner is an enlarged depiction of the piece she is working on- a lump of shale being worked with a hole in the centre perhaps in the process of making a ring

Public #art in #Govan. A nearby plaque says: This is the probable site of the giant ‘Doomster Hill’ earthwork – parliament hill of the Kingdom of Strathclyde. It stood on this land for more than 1000 years before being levelled in 1850 for the shipyards. #photography #sculpture #Glasgow #Scotland

A photograph of a brown, rounded, metal object with a round hole through it. Below it, cobblestones can be seen.

A photograph of a brown, metal art installation next to a riverside walkway. It comprises a number of roughly oval shapes, piled one on top of the other, each pointing in a different direction (more or less). The sculpture is crowned by a cog-like object.

A photograph showing a grey, wooden, roughly egg-shaped object surrounded by grass. The object has been created to look as if it has cracked open.

A photograph showing an object quite similar to the one in the previous photograph. A bridge and a tree are visible in the background.
