This is a night version of one of my favorite scenes - The Glittering Caves of Aglarond.

Inspired by a passage from The Lord of the Rings, Book III, Chapter 8: "Immeasurable halls, filled with an everlasting music of water that tinkles into pools. Gems and crystals and veins of precious ore glint in the polished walls; and the light glows through folded marbles, shell-like, translucent as the living hand of Queen Galadriel. There are columns of white and saffron and dawn-rose, fluted and twisted into dreamlike form, they spring up from many-colored floors to meet the glistening pendants of the roof; wings, ropes, curtains fine as frozen clouds; spears, banners, pinnacles of suspended palaces! Still lakes mirror them; a glimmering world looks up from dark pools covered with clear glass."

Now THAT's a movie set I'd like to see in person. It took a while, studying it to get my eyes in the proper perspective, to see the wee fellow in the boat on the "lake". His torch gave him away. Veeeerrry nice.

Such a dream as this,
a place full of such mystique & bliss,
to find oneself upon these waters,
those whom pass alongside crystalline daughters,
deep within our earthly mother,
no worry of any other,
is to wonder,
if not wander,
outside the mind,
to be so kind,
to paint the portrait which did define,
such a world as this eternal shrine.

Forget not that we are all only star dust, flowing in a sea of experience. To wonder the nature of the universe, is but to ask the nature of ourselves.. 2011 In Lak'ech
