Crossroads of Light and ShadowSummary: In a rainy night, Aragorn walks through the Midgewater marshes. But not all paths lead to good ends, and dark things lurk at the crossroads… A story with sound and visual effects

My thanks to openmeadow for an inspiring chat about senses

Dedicated to all my friends that walked with me through mud and rain, and that were lost with me until we found ourselves again.
Crossroads of Light and Shadow
Squelch. With effort he pulled his boot from the mud. It left a deep footprint.
Squirsh. Murky water began to soak through the mud and fill it.
Blub.The surface closed. Besides a few bubbles on the dark surface, there was no trace of his passing.
Squish. Another step. A waft of something foul and rotten

Death of a ForestThe forgotten gods can't stand the light
where the shadows used to fall
The Death is called brother of Sleep, the last of the Free.
She calls the crows to the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank.
Sagrada Familia queuing to step down from heaven...
In every leaf, every tear
hidden hunter's remorse
Lost between hell and paradise, between time and space,
Immense silence after the ice has melted.
Unforget...
No echo of my footsteps... It's time to run away.
A heart of steel is always the weakest.

Kodama - forest spiritsby =MirachRavaia

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Other

Icicles at the entrance of Stanišovská cave (Slovakia)
Don't they look like the forest spirits from Princess Mononoke?

Kodama (木魂) is a spirit from Japanese folklore, which is believed to live in certain trees (similar to the Dryad of Greek mythology). Cutting down a tree which houses a kodama is thought to bring misfortune, and such trees are often marked with shimenawa rope.

(My camera ran out of batteries when we were here, so I had to borrow a cheap one... The picture is not as sharp as I'd want to, but at least I managed to catch them in a photo. They are elusive
