Beautiful, ttbk.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Thank you, cemthinae, I haven't been on this board for about a month and missed a ton of posts. I like to check out others' photos as well, it attaches some personality to the text on the screen.cemthinae-- Bolg, I hope you don't mind that I browsed the rest of your pictures! It's this... habit, I have! Your pugs & golden are adorable!
The storm cloud in question was taken with a run of the mill Nikon digital and when they turned out I was pleasantly suprised. [/quote]

Oh no! I didn't mean for you to take it off. Just that it can't be printed or such without my permission. Thanks.WampusCat wrote:I'm so sorry, cem! I'll take it off if you wish. It just suited my mood and I didn't think about it being copyrighted (as well it should be).
Was it this one? http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a31/ll ... nrise1.jpg
I just am curious as to which pictures people like.
Hi, Bolg. Welcome back, of sorts. Not that I'm a regular here or anything... I just stop by to drop off pictures.
for TTBK
And... for this reason I was almost late to work today:

I can't wait to see them!

Oh, cem! Those are just exquisite. Especially the frost-rimed blades of grass. And the first one, the sunrise. But all of them are beautiful.

I couldn't pick favourites either.
When I go through this thread, I keep thinking "Oh my God!" and I can even write it, because I think it - feel it - in the best possible sense, with deep gratitude to the creation.

but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed.

ttbk, that is amazing. I especially love the black & white shot of the leaves in the ice.
One of the things I do to try to reduce stress is to look at pictures like these, and I've discovered that I can load them into a screensaver and just sit and watch them fade slowly from one to the next, with my office dark and peaceful. I have added a lot of ttbk and cem's photos to a folder called "Arda Unmarred" on my desktop, which I now use for this. It's helped a lot.
I hope this use is OK. I won't print or share the photos anywhere, and because they're in the folder I know who they belong to, so they won't be mixed in with anything I do share or used in a sig or some such.
You just both have a gift for creating images that bring peace.

Possible some of the best compliments we could get!
I adore some of these latest pictures that The Kid has snapped. The first one he posted here is my current desktop. It somehow, once again, reminds me of me... trying to fly and let go, yet a bit stuck... for now...
Prim, I don't mind, as long as you are just viewing them. I want people to enjoy them! That's why I share.
I also generally post much smaller images so it makes them hard to print off.
