“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

The mountains in the first picture are visible from my work window and if anyone has see the movie Appaloosa they are also in that movie.
And a Christmas ball at work...I took it because I was playing around.
All pictures taken with same camera.

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

not much of a fauna or flora photographer, here is a link to my good friend Andy Routh's site.
Many years ago he an I were in a band together, playing punk music before we realised what it was

"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

Gorgeous, Voronwë! Especially the Mother and Father—I'd have known them without the signs, I think!
And what a lovely day you had for your walk.

Wonderful Voronwë! I was there about a week earlier and the Redwoods on the coast and the Sequoia's in the Sierra's always make me think of Tolkien and the ents. Much like star gazing they remind me how insignificant we are in the scheme of time. I hope you and everyone here had a wonderful holidays.

2. We have many ways using technology to be in touch, yet the larger question is are we really connected or are we simply more in touch? There is a difference.
