“You see, some people are born with a piece of night inside, and that hollow place can never be filled - not with all the good food or sunshine in the world. That emptiness cannot be banished, and so some days we wake with the feeling of the wind blowing through, and we must simply endure it...”
― Leigh Bardugo

"I dwell in a lonely house I know
That vanished many a summer ago,
And left no trace but the cellar walls,
And a cellar in which the daylight falls
And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.
O'er ruined fences the grape-vines shield
The woods come back to the mowing field;
The orchard tree has grown one copse
Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
The footpath down to the well is healed.
I dwell with a strangely aching heart
In that vanished abode there far apart
On that disused and forgotten road
That has no dust-bath now for the toad.
Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;
The whippoorwill is coming to shout
And hush and cluck and flutter about:
I hear him begin far enough away
Full many a time to say his say
Before he arrives to say it out.
It is under the small, dim, summer star.
I know not who these mute folk are
Who share the unlit place with me—
Those stones out under the low-limbed tree
Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar.
They are tireless folk, but slow and sad—
Though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,—
With none among them that ever sings,
And yet, in view of how many things,
As sweet companions as might be had."
- Robert Frost, "Ghost House"

From Tolla Crisp and Terry Fotherington. A creation from my heart of a Swedish Winter Hollow and then expanded by Terry to an amazing experience that feels like real in a way that only Terry can do.
Winter night falls soft in the warm Swedish homes where all the family gathers for Lucia. Lucia is an ancient mythical figure with an abiding role as a bearer of light in the dark Swedish winters The annual candlelit Lucia procession on 13 December is perhaps one of the more exotic-looking Swedish customs, with girls and boys clad in white full-length gowns singing songs together. (Yes, I did this with my family and we have the pics to prove)

Situated in the South Downs NP, the hollow way to Halnaker windmill is almost glowing as sunset approaches.
Hollow Rock is another well known tombolo located just south of Grand Portage. I have been here a few times but never in the morning. The nice thing about February is that the sun will line up with the opening in the rock and shine through. It was fortunate that the sun was out and cooperated with us.
We weren't sure exactly the sun would be coming through so we had to make a last minute location change to get the sun just correct. Fortunately I was able to get double the fun with the sun with a sunburst. Another added plus we had our choice of spots since there were no workshops going on this day. :)
Das lässt tief blicken. Das Gelbgrün im inneren harmoniert gut mit den Blütenstempeln.
Open but not empty. Delicate colors inside.

Walking in the woods today I came across this scene. I have no idea who has left this pumpkin, but I had to take a photo.

Another shot of this gorgeous owlet.
We have passed this nest several times on our morning walk, without noticing it.
So what a surprise it was to see this little cutie staring at us in the early morning light.
He/she was quite distant and we did not wish to disturb the nest. We did however spend a few wonderful minutes watching before it hopped back into the nest hole.
So far this has been the only occasion we have spotted the youngster.

Another shot taken on my lazy weekend. Bells Hollow is a very narrow lane & virtually on my doorstep. Taken just before sunset.

Sunrise at Hollow Rock beach at Grand Portage MN.
Hollow Rock beach is a hidden gem. It is a 40 minutes drive north of Grand Marais, MN on highway 61. You need to look out for mile marker 140 and you will see Hollow Rock Resort sign about 1/2 mile after crossing mile marker 140 on the right.
