1,000,000 Acred sky

entry picture

This Fenland million-acred sky,                                                     

Perceivable vastness beyond mortal eyes                                                      

An atmospheric canvas of blue-washed dye                    

Souls unbound by expansive skies                                                   

This Fenland million-acred sky so wide 

That fluffed white clouds effortlessly glide                        

Panoramic scene where precious thoughts abide

Here worries fade, and all our troubles died

This Fenland million-acred sky so blue 

Dreams transported far from reach

Immense theatre of light, we’re born anew

Respect nature's majesty, all and each

This Fenland million-acred sky dawns,

Red, yellow, orange, blue, and gold, 

This daily ritual is never timeworn

Look, see, a wondrous vision to behold

It is beautiful. Most people believe only mountains and lakes are beautiful but come and see the flat lands and look at nature on a grand stage.

Thanks JD. I've never been to the fens, must give "nature's majesty" a visit.
