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.

2:


Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birthplace of Valour, the country of Worth;

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands forever I'll love.

by Robert Burns, Scotland - 1789

This is what home looks like to me, especially in September, when the heather blooms in Lüneburg Heath are coming to an end, and on beautiful, sunny days, the land shines once again in this incredible pink.

I’ve never painted this in all these years. But I love how this turned out and hope you like it too.

 The iconic rain scene from the 2005 film Pride & Prejudice, where Mr. Darcy first proposes to Elizabeth Bennet, was filmed at the Temple of Apollo within Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire, England. The National Trust property features this classical temple, which overlooks a beautiful lake and serves as a memorable backdrop for the dramatic moment. Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth Bennet, revealing his love and his internal conflict between societal expectations and his feelings for her. The storm symbolizes the tumultuous emotions of the characters and the disruptive, passionate nature of their burgeoning, yet contentious, relationship. The scene's dramatic setting, with heavy rain and sound design, amplifies the raw intensity of their interaction, forcing them to confront their pride and prejudice in a charged environment.
