valhalla:
n : a happy, heavenly place (peaceful and beautiful) where those who are favored by the gods can go when they die [syn: elysium, elysian fields, valhalla, paradise]
"The gods' world exists in parallel with our own – where St Pancras railway station is Valhalla."
If you don't know what I'm talking about I strongly recommend reading "The long dark tea-time of the soul" by Douglas Adams. If you read it already and were in doubt how someone could think of a station as a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard just have a look of the pictures. All clickable, of course.

"Die Welt der Götter existiert parallel zu unserer eigenen - und der St Pancras Bahnhof ist Walhall"
Wer jetzt nicht weiß, wovon ich rede, dem empfehle ich dringend, "Der lange dunkle Fünfuhrtee der Seele" von Douglas Adams zu lesen. Wer es schon gelesen hat und sich schon immer fragte, wie um Himmels Willen jemand auf die Idee kommen kann, einen Bahnhof als eine königliche, riesengroße Halle in Asgard zu sehen, der werfe einen Blick auf diese Fotos. Ich hab's danach verstanden.
Alle Bilder sind anklickbar.
Mule deer are naturally curious animals and often while out hiking I have been able to approach them quite closely, especially ones that have become accustomed to humans and handouts. But none have been as inquisitive as this young bachelor.
It was an early summer morning camped out in a gorgeous high lake-filled basin in the Valhalla Ranges in B.C. on the second day of a planned four-day lake-visiting mountaineering traverse. I'd awoke, did my business and turned back to retrieve my camera hoping to capture some sunrise reflections in the still waters at the far side of the lake. I turned around and a deer had suddenly appeared and began browsing on the bush I had just visited. "Well, good morning Mr. Deer, may I take your picture!?" No sirree! Before I could get a shot off, he'd hopped 100 feet away and stood there playfully watching me.
I started walking around the lake and he followed me and soon caught up to me. It was not surprising at how well he could negotiate the boulderfields that fell steeply into the lake on all sides. I eventually stopped to set up the camera. "What's that little buddy?...you'll have to come closer if you want your portrait", I asked reassuredly. He approached to within two arm's lengths from me, pausing for a whole minute before moving slowly past me up the hillside.
That moment made my whole trip. I don't think I will ever forget the calm, gentle look in this beautiful animal's eyes as he stood there for me perfectly camouflaged in his natural habitat.
Valhalla!
Is there room for one more LEGO tensegrity model in the world?
Hopefully, because this one was somewhat tricky to build… It was
a bit of a challenge to get everything balanced out while keeping
the stand so small and having most of the model up in the air.
The ‘floating’ rainbow (called Bifrost in viking mythology) seemed
like a perfect match for the tensegrity technique.

Sunset reflection of Mt. Valhalla in a small lake at the head
of the South Rock Creek valley in the Gore
Range near Silverthorne - October.This is a remote part of the Eagles Nest Wilderness where no trails exist and one must bushwhack through a long valley filled with marshy bogs to get here. The reward is absolute solitude in a surrounding cirque of towering peaks.
It was a nice day to get out on Eager Hill and it was a bit funny finding this amulet hanging on a tree. I love Thor and all that he stands for so it felt like a good day.
