There was a legend. For there is always a legend is there not? The legend of the Forlorn Shore. Told through tales from old fishermen, sailors and journeymen. It was said that this shore lead the way to an old lighthouse from a forgotten island village. A village that goes back to the days of the old masters of arcane sciences and strange mystics known as the "Warden of the Isle." Apparently, these masters were so powerful, they could create strange mechanical contraptions that were fueled by the very forces of mother nature herself. In their efforts to serve mother nature, It was said that they erected a lighthouse that would lead the lost souls of the Atlantyre sea back to land. Of course, this would ensure that these "lost souls" would return to their homeland for their final resting place instead of being lost to the currents of the churning depths. Unfortunately, events did not transpire as they were foreseen. The story becomes a bit muddled here, but it was said that the lost souls became angry at the old masters and trapped the villagers, along with the masters, on their island. Eventually, the waters ran ashore, washing away everything of the old village including the old masters themselves. Ironic, I suppose. More likely, these "old masters" were nothing more than old tricksters and charlatans that were kicked out for such absurd nonsense and simply wanted to spook away visitors.
However, after my second day on this journey, as the night fell upon the sky and the tide rose along the shore, the thick fog gave way and I saw it! Behold, the old lighthouse. It was real! At least, there was some kind of lighthouse... leaning to the side and with no light. This is not a far swim. It's worth it. I can make it. Throwing aside my coat, shirt, pants and boots, the wind bit at me with icy teeth. Biting back my fears as blood dripped from my lip, I stared forward. The waves seemed to echo further and further up the shore. The tide must be rising. That is all. The rushing water beckons me, And I shall willfully obey. Time to step forward. One foot is now in the water and something does not feel right. My entire leg is tingling and falling asleep.... It cannot be that cold. My foot. Now grey? What kind of madness is this? What am I doing? Falling over backward on sand that seemingly has turned slippery like wet clay, the waves now pick up with a hammering chopping cadence. Looking down at my foot, now grey like the shore! The waves are now rushing further up. Toward me? Slowly, like some creeping mist along the sand. Scurrying backward, my back stuck against the fallen mess of wet and slippery dead limbs. I suppose, I now find myself a bit stuck...

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

There is a lot going on here, which doesn't make sense...
I also wonder if this image can belong in the Street Photography genre, since there are no humans in the scene.

An older picture from Virginia. Sunny in Missouri today but far from Spring. And the groundhog's shadow predicted 6 more weeks of winter :( - Have always wondered how much the poor groundhog has to hate humans for keeping this absurd habit of waking him up just to check if there's a shadow - So, let's instead celebrate Imbolc, same day, same stuff: offering hopes for a soon-to-come Spring.
