On my recent journey to Sweden I found myself in the solitary footsteps of Swedish artist, John Bauer. My attempt was to find the places that are illustrated in his imagery and document them. As I was walking through the deep parts of the forest, among the mysterious and magical places I discovered a landscape that belonged to another world, one of serenity, quiet and beauty.

Granada is placed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of three rivers, Beiro, Darro and Genil. The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is one of the most famous items of the Islamic historical legacy that makes Granada a hot spot of world culture. The Almohad urbanism with some fine examples of Moorish and Morisco constructions is preserved at the part of the city called the Albaicín.
A Jewish community established itself in what was effectively a suburb of the city, called "Gárnata" or "Gárnata al-yahud" (Granada of the Jews). It was with the help of this community that Moorish forces under Tariq ibn-Ziyad first took the city in 711, though it was not fully secured until 713. They referred to it under the Iberian name "Ilbira", the remaining Christian community calling this "Elvira", and it became the capital of a province of the Caliphate of Cordoba. Civil conflicts that wracked the Caliphate in the early eleventh century led to the destruction of the city in 1010. In the subsequent reconstruction, the suburb of Gárnata (Arabic: غرناطة) was incorporated in the city, and the modern name in fact derives from this. With the arrival of the Zirid dynasty in 1013, Granada became an independent emirate Taifa of Granada. By the end of the eleventh century, the city had spread across the Darro to reach what is now the site of the Alhambra.
On January 2, 1492, the last Muslim sultan in Iberia, Muhammad XII, known as Boabdil to the Spanish, surrendered complete control of Granada, to Ferdinand and Isabella, Los Reyes Católicos ("The Catholic Monarchs"), after the city was besieged.
See Nasrid dynasty for a full list of the Nasrid rulers of Granada. The most prominent members of the dynasty were:
Mohammed I ibn Nasr (died 1273), the founder of the dynasty
Yusuf I (1334–1354)
Muhammed V (1354–1391), builder of the royal palace within the Alhambra
Muhammad XII of Granada, the last of the line, who surrendered in 1492 to Ferdinand and Isabel and was given the Alpujarras mountains to rule to the East of Granada, although he left for Tlemsen in Morocco.
On the way back from the lower Dartmeet river trail , I came across a sunlit tree and thought it would make a great tree silhouette with its size & shape, with that in mind, all I needed was a title...going by the light & shadow and somewhat a creepy feel I decided on its name, "Hence"....."A WINTER'S TALE". A BIG thanks for looking!!!
I drag my old type writer from a cellar and wanted to take the last shots of it before giving it away.

Today our fairy tale story continues above the Sintra Mountains, exploring the mesmerising castle of Pena National Palace.
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!

They all fell silent, watching him anxiously, but after muttering incomprehensibly for a moment he merely started snoring.

In which Ron wakes up in the Hospital Wing and discusses being poisoned with his family. Harry is confronted by McLaggen, pushing to play for Ron in the upcoming match. At said match, McLaggen grabs a beater's bat and cracks Harry's skull. In the Hospital Wing, Harry summons Kreacher and Dobby to spy on Malfoy.

This was a fun little scene to put together! The window technique I used on my day 8 for the micro dining hall, the pieces are being held into transparent brick with technic pins. Don't mind Ron’s weird pec muscles, this was the only white tank-top torso I owned which is the back of Chell’s torso :)

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.
