If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do
And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are
You leave me breathless

machine stitching in book with short stories by Edgar Allen Poe. The first story being "The Tell-Tale Heart"
The tale of two dragons. Single drop waterfalls can make poor compositions as you can end up with a slim streak of water surrounded by not very much
For national comparison sake I have put the Welsh (red dragon) highest waterfall against the highest English waterfall. Hardraw: on the right, is accessed through the Green Dragon Pub in the Yorkshire Dales. It being 18c-in February-was not the ideal conditions as it was very bright. As Robin Hood, Kevin Costner "bathed" in the pool. On the left we have Pistyll Rhaeadr. "Pistol Rider" does sound like a Bond Girl and I later found out that it may only be the third highest waterfall in Wales!!! But it does depend upon who you believe. Perhaps I should have entitled it Dragon P!

Today our fairy tale story continues above the Sintra Mountains, exploring the mesmerising castle of Pena National Palace.
I'm still in a atmospheric fairy tale mood, and here is my latest edit. One of my favourite painters must be John Bauer. I just loves how he used to illustrate the woodland and trolls. Here is my version of a mystic, lush woodland view.
Ein armer Holzhauer lebte mit seiner Frau und drei Töchtern in einer kleinen Hütte an dem Rande eines einsamen Waldes.
A poor woodcutter lived with his wife and three daughters in a small hut on the edge of a lonely forest.
It is always interesting to observe a child confronted to the emptiness of nature. i wasn't far behind her, but let her go around, seeing how far she would go on her own. she was actually pretty courageous. insightful.

Tall tales of short dwarves- small people in a big book! There's the story of Belrum, and his escape from the dragon's lair with the jewel of Bolta. There's the account of the wild rides through the mines of Rugarth after the goblins cut loose the minecarts. There's stories of rooms of gold, kings of old, and tales of both the brave and the bold.
Built for the Dwarf Tales category of Brickscalibur 2024.

The Schooner America 2.0 with Full Sails! She is one of the most majestic tall sail-ships in the Key West sunset-sail fleet. Her huge sails catch the wind and the light as she roams the harbor, giving passengers a day/evening of excitement and open-water beauty.

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170-year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.
