Death Valley National Park, California

Nighttime in the fog 👽

At the end of the Landmannalaugar Trail lies Thórsmörk, the Forest of Thor, an ethereal valley of flowers, mossy caves, and plunging gorges covered with small flowers and tiny ferns, and glistening with small waterfalls.

 

Standing in the glacial valley, it is easy to lose sight of the 21st Century, and to imagine yourself in a time when the land was still new, and Thor, the god of thunder, clashed with frost giants to determine the fate of the world on the looming slopes of Goðaland—the land of the Gods.

 

One of the best known ways to discover and experience Thórsmörk is the five-day, Laugavegur Trek.

 

however, leads a one-day hike to Thorsmork, which begins in Skógar, winds its way along the Skógá River,

then upward through a pass between two glaciers, past waterfalls and two newly formed craters (Magni and Móði), and then onward to the crest of the Eyjafjallajökull caldera.

 

The trip through Thor’s Forest and up to the top of Eyjafjallajökull in the Land of the Gods takes roughly ten hours.

 

You will experience wonders of nature and geologic formations you cannot experience anywhere else in the world.

 

And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.

“She had put despair and fear aside, as if they were garments she did not choose to wear.”

 

― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Havasu Falls, Arizona

 

Havasupai is a magic place. If visit in summer, the blue water and red canyon is already a perfect match. Thanksgiving is a better timing in my opinion because the fall color is making the whole area more vivid. Yes it was a 10-mile one-way hike, but after you have seen a picture like this after sunrise with some clouds over the sky and glow on the cliff, needless to say, totally worth it.

  

Thanks for stopping by!

In a realm cloaked in the folds of whimsy, nestled the land of Plushshire, where the sentient stufflings—Stufflepuffs and Tedwardians—dwelt in a fabric-bound fraternity. This was until the day the Revolt of the Cuddly Toys unfurled, stitching dissent between the Hoppington Hares of Fluffborough and the Bearington Bears of Pawston.

 

Our plush protagonist, Sir Cuddleton Patchworthy, was a Bearwardian of great renown. His valor was famed throughout the Tusslemeadows of Thimbleton, and in the fray, he became threadbare, a hero frayed but not defeated.

 

Sir Cuddleton, knight of the revered Wovenkeep, possessed knowledge of the arcane Twirlwinds—a spellthread capable of reweaving the most tattered of toy souls. In his recovery, tended by the crafty paws of Madam Purlina Webwhisker, the sage of Seams, Patchworthy contemplated the raveled threads of war.

 

The Neverolds, eternal children of Plushshire, observed the fray through teary glass eyes. In their wisdom, they conceived a plot most playful: the Larkspur Labyrinth, a playground so beguiling that no stuffed soldier could resist its siren song of serenity. Here, in this haven of hilarity, the disheartened warriors laid down their cotton cudgels and embraced their erstwhile enemies.

 

Sir Cuddleton Patchworthy, now adorned with the emblem of empathy began his most important quest. He traversed Plushshire, from the cushiony hills of Napvale to the silken sands of Drowsy Dunes, spinning tales of solace and stitching unity into the fabric of every toy's being.

 

And so, the yarn of the Revolt of the Cuddly Toys unwound to an uneasy stillness. Plushshire was suspended in a delicate balance, as if the very air held its breath. Sir Cuddleton Patchworthy, erstwhile warrior, now dubbed 'The Tranquil,' became a legend in hush tones and half-whispers.

 

For in the shadows of playtime's joy and the soft echoes of laughter, there lingered a thread of unease. The Neverolds knew, as all who've watched the cycle of tales unfold, that darkness can restitch itself anew. And as the moonlight danced upon the Larkspur Labyrinth, they wondered quietly: would the stitches of peace hold, or would they unravel in the silent whispers of the night?

A fantastic view of the swiss alps this fall during a fantastic afternoon with my friend Gianluca Podestà.

The majestic peaks of the Swiss Alps are definitely worthy to be the scenery of an epic tale.

first snow of the year ... as always ... just a glimpse before it was gone ...

Well, I have a lot to say about this one. It's actually almost still a WIP! Inside beneath the temple complex we have a mosaic of an Ancient Aztec god, but for me that wasn't good enough because I needed more cheese slopes. And need I mention the four footed base I had to put this on? There were ways to have done that so well! I know I missed them, so far. I'll just have to grin and bear it!

 

Hope you enjoy the temple tho! This was built for Style it up! It had to support itself on just four studs. I still have a few things to work out on the temple and details to arrange, but for now it's worth noting that the top also has interior details visible through the doors, although they are in the shadows. More photos of that and the rest to come! Any advice is welcome :) .

Petit dépoussiérage d'archives pour cette vue de l'aube naissante sur les pentes du Menez Mikel (Mont Saint-Michel de Brasparts, Finistère, Bretagne, France). Ce vieil arbre semble régner sur le Yeun Elez comme sur son royaume.

Haven't been on here much lately, but I did manage a trip to Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio this past weekend. It was good to get the cobwebs out of the camera.

 

This was taken in Old Man's Cave, one of many caves in the park. It was named for Richard Rowe, a hermit who lived in the large recess cave in this gorge in the late 1700's. He's actually buried somewhere in the cave.

Another from the series, the rest will be posted later in the year (when we get more fog)!

The land on the far left is Raasay, which lies between the Scottish Mainland and the Isle of Skye. The water off to the right is the entrance to Loch Portree and then Portree Harbor. The whole region is a big spot for golden eagles and sea eagles, and we saw quite a few, though--having only a phone cameras--I took no photos of them.
