Phoenix flies out over Stroud

In England's green and pleasant land, the summer is a superb time, and Stroud is a lovely old town in Gloucestershire. Across the valley one can just make out the town in the distance, surrounded by glorious emerald green trees and fields over the hills. It makes your spirit take wings, and thus I pictured the ancient Phoenix bird rising up like the spirit reborn. From Hawkwood House on the top of the hill I could look out and walk amongst the organic gardens and farms, and even drink from a spring! 

Nature in harmony:  I have captured in this image a special memory of the feeling in harmony with oneself and life and the soft glow of the evening sun.
