“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

/ December 12, 2012That’s so beautiful… the photos gradually turning to a renewed nature while the wise quote of Tolkien carries me along… wow! And the snow falling on your blog makes a great effect as I read this too! Awesome post!

/ December 13, 2012This was one of those glorious accidents! I love pairing photos with quotes. It’s kind of my own visual poetry. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesnt. Since im not a great writer this works for me. My blog is one of those photo blogs. But I call it a “photo quote” blog. That particular one is probably my favorite.
Thanks for the visit and comments!
You can read more about this on the following post—as your time permits.
