Yggdrasil

The titles I give to photos rarely, in my opinion, add anything to the image but this one is slightly different. Yggdrasil is the World Tree of Norse Mythology. The Tree of Life with branches that span the skies, supported on three roots one of which shelters the meeting place of the gods, another is gnawed upon by a dragon on the Shore of Corpses.

Many contemporary images of Yggdrasil show the huge scale of a tree encompassing the entire world but this is my view. It’s important not to overlook the details even when the whole is so imposing.

Sacred Memory

Engraving turns into embossed letters when removed from it’s context. Or maybe it doesn’t, let your own brain decide – are the letters raised or are they carved into the stone just as always?

Wasps Like Kitchens?

It’s a complete mystery to me how wasps manage to enter our kitchen with seemingly complete freedom but have no skills at all in leaving without help from me shooing them back out window.

One Way Of Life

This photo is the first I’ve scheduled in wordpress to be uploaded to flickr (and twitter updated) while I’m off out doing more interesting things. It’s also a reminder of places I yearn to be rather than stuck sitting at a computer.
