 The Dance of the Wind

Travelling by bike through England & Ireland. Following Eurovelo 1, the journay started in Plymouth, crossing Devonshire by Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks. Then, the video shows pictures from Glastonbury Tor, Wells, Cheddar and the big city of Bristol. Coming back to the country side in South Wales, beautiful castles of Caerphilly, Laugharne and Pembroke. The amazing coast line of Pembrokeshire, with its steeped cliffs and sandy beaches. Arriving to Saint David's abbey, centre for pilgrimage, was an intense spiritual experience.
In the second part of the video, England was left behind to get inmersed in the Ireland fields, the mystic Lady's island devoted to Virgin Mary, Tintern Abbey, the amazing Greenway from Waterford to Dungarvan, and finally Cork.
A train drived myself to Dublin where I moved between Wicklow mountains and the coast. Then the small village of Redcross and its lovely music pubs, Gorey, Wexford and Rosslare. So many beautiful places to explore... that I need to go back.
During my cycling, sorrounded by beauty everywhere, the song "The two trees" by Lorena McKennit, based in the poem by William Butler Yeats, came to my mind, and I could not conceive other music for this emotional journey to my inner being.
I hope you enjoy it
Thank you
