Close in, move out to where you want to go. There's a crowd out there handclapping slow. We're all powered up, switched on, the rig is tight. Step into joy.

I give up...tell the Tull geography in the bridges picture. I never liked the eagle line in 'Part of the Machine'...it sounded too pro-American. But I love the song.

For those members contemplating a trip to Old Blighty this summer, the following from www.gazetteandherald.co.uk might be of interest: SHALBOURNE: Mount Prosperous, Bitham Lane, three miles south of Hungerford, is open to the public on Saturday. It was the home to the 18th century agriculturalist Jethro Tull and includes a full size working model of his seed drill. The garden has herbaceous borders, a pond, a cascade, a walled rose garden, an Italian pool garden, a woodland walk, and if you get thirsty they are serving gin.

www.philstar.com/lifestyle/travel-and-tourism/2019/07/14/1934405/highlander-magicHighlander magicAna Marie Pamintuan (The Philippine Star) - July 14, 2019 - 12:00am It’s a serpent. It’s a giant catfish. It’s… the bubbly rippled wake of our cruise yacht, exploring Loch Ness, the lake in the Scottish Highlands that is supposed to be inhabited by a monster. "Scottish scenery also undoubtedly inspired the most commercially successful writer of all time. J.K. Rowling drew the outlines and worked on the wildly popular Harry Potter series in the cafés of Scottish capital Edinburgh. And I can see where progressive rock band Jethro Tull’s Scotland-born flute artist Ian Anderson found inspiration for his songwriting."

I see a dark sail on the horizon Set under a black cloud that hides the sun. Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding. Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman. Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing. Take women and children and bed them down.

www.scotland.com/blog/iron-age-ruins-of-dun-ringill/IRON AGE RUINS OF DUN RINGILLTraditionally believed to have been the seat of Clan MacKinnon for several centuries, the ruins of Dun Ringill are located on the Strathaird peninsula, overlooking Loch Slapin on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Offering a slice of history, a splendid view of the Loch and a picturesque walk to get there, Dun Ringill is a popular spot to visit on this most northerly island of Scotland’s Inner Hebrides. The dry-stone hollow-walled structure of Dun Ringill is consistent with Iron Age buildings, with evidence indicating that the structure was modified and occupied right up until the 19th century. Clan MacKinnon moved their clan seat from Dun Ringill to Dunakin in the 16th century, and it is not clear who subsequently occupied the settlement until it was abandoned in the 19th century. Visitors to Dun Ringill will find a structure of around four meters high, with its most prominent feature being the 1.8 meter high doorway facing away from the loch. A ditch running around the structure indicates where the settlement’s perimeter wall used to be, which most likely served the purpose of both enclosing livestock and protecting the inhabitants. There is evidence that other buildings once stood within this enclosed area. Two ramps made of earth and stone lead down to the water’s edge on either side of the ruins, no doubt to accommodate boats which were the most common form of travel at the time in this isolated location. Loch Slapin lies to the east and south of Dun Ringill, with hilly coastal plain to the north and west. Visitors can park their cars in the car park alongside the Kilmarie burial ground and walk up to the Kilmarie House where they’ll find the beginning of the footpath leading to Dun Ringill. Interestingly, Kilmarie House and grounds once belonged to Ian Anderson of the group Jethro Tull. Their 1979 album Stormwatch includes a song called Dun Ringill. The property is now managed by the John Muir Trust. The trail crosses a bridge over the Abhainn Cille Mahaire, before turning to the right and running alongside the river and later following the coast to reach Dun Ringill. The path is clearly visible and spectacular views are guaranteed for those who choose to visit this ancient site.

Jagged fires mark the picket lines The politicians weep And mealy-mouthed Through corridors of power on tip-toe creep Come and see bureaucracy Make its final heave And let the new disorder through While senses take their leave

You know what, it was my first post here at the forum and maybe not so well thought out. But, I tried my best.
But ok, a clue is: It's song from 'J-Tull Dot Com' album.

One more Arctic desert day another set of shoes out in the tundra snow. I make my fade to white-out and you can't see me where my footprints go.
TUNDRA.......
