Kelpies with Ochil hills

Hier erkennt man die Lage und enorme Größe der Kelpies sehr gut. Einerseits wurde der Standort mit Bedacht ausgesucht, da er direkt am östlichen Ende des Hauptteils des Forth-Clyde-Kanals liegt und die Ochil Hills einen schönen Hintergrund bilden. Die Skulptur ist auch als eine Würdigung der Treidelpferde, die entlang des Kanals arbeiteten, gedacht. Andererseits verläuft auf einer Seite eine Trasse von Hochspannungsmasten und auf der anderen Seite die Autobahn A9 zwischen Edinburgh und Stirling, was das Fotografieren sehr erschwert. Persönlich hätte ich die Skulptur eher um zirka neuzig Grad gedreht und auf ein erhöhtes Podest gestellt.

Here you can see the location and enormous size of the Kelpies very well. On the one hand, the location was carefully chosen as it is located at the eastern end of the main part of the Forth Clyde Canal and the Ochil Hills form a beautiful backdrop. The sculpture is also thought to be an appreciation of the trekking horses that worked along the canal. On the other hand, there is a line of pylons on one side and the A9 between Edinburgh and Stirling on the other side, which makes taking pictures a lot more difficult. Personally, I would have turned the sculpture by about ninety degrees and put it on a raised pedestal.

Jethro Tull - Kelpie: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tOy9MOW5NB4

There was a warm wind with the high tide
On the south side of the hill
When a young girl went a-walking
And I followed with a will

Good day to you, my fine young lady
With your lips so sweetly full
May I help you comb your long hair
Sweep it from that brow so cool

Up, ride with the kelpie
I'll steal your soul to the deep
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free
I'll ride with somebody else

Well, I'm a man when I'm feeling
The urge to step ashore
So I may charm you, not alarm you
Tell you all fine things and more

Up, ride with the kelpie
I'll steal your soul to the deep
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free
I'll ride with somebody else

Say goodbye to all your dear kin
For they hate to see you go
In your young prime to this place of mine
In the still loch far below

Up, ride with the kelpie
I'll steal your soul to the deep
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free
I'll ride with somebody else

Up, ride with the kelpie
I'll steal your soul to the deep
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free
I'll ride with somebody else

Up, ride with the kelpie
I'll steal your soul to the deep
