Mysteries

In the wood, where sinister alders are a heavy presence, the darkness is emphasised by a dusting of snow.

Beyond, after the sun has raised itself over the bar of cloud to the east, a more benign but still mysterious spirit rules.

One of our problems is that the most valuable aspects of a site like this are near undefinable tempting us to fall back on highly subjective language that is not part of the vocabulary of the local minor functionnaries. As with Mr Gradgrind of Hard Times imagination is some sort of dangerous concept. So using words like 'magic' or even 'unpredictable' doesn't recommend something to those who get their satisfactions and fantasies from screens and synthetic pre-digested experiences.

We desperately look for hope. Did I see a still from a soon-to-be released film (07 of the series) showing territory not unlike the more unmanaged parts of Blacka? Will they make the link?
