"trees of light"

[helen99]

I just got the daily search activity report for the website, and someone was searching for "trees of light". Please, who are you? Talk to me! What was it you were looking for? I wish I did have a page about "trees of light". Maybe I will...

Edit - Ah it's a Tolkien reference (Telpirion and Laurelin, slain by Melkor in the First Age).. Been a while since I read that - I'd forgotten. No wonder. People are always looking for Tolkien things on the website for some reason.

Still, what a neat concept just by itself, without any references...

"Trees of Light" ...

The Star Trees...

Part tree, part Starlight

Reaching from the blackwaters deep underground

branching out into the night sky,

a silver glow emanating from the transluscent bark...

I'll read the poem as soon as Yahoo quits saying, "Unfortunately we're unable to process your request at this time"... They've been saying that alot lately. They may be reaching capacity, or are under some sort of DoS attack.

Huh, odd. I've been getting a lot of timeouts on page loads, and a number of times what was frustrating the search was that it would give me a "ran out of memory" error (!), but later last night I seemed to have more luck. Maybe a combination of factors. *kicks yahoo anyway*

I like #3 better. The visual in my head is much more of bluish than purplish.

Agree - I was actually going to discard #2, but my perception of it somehow improved with time (I'm not sure why), so included it at the last minute. I'll be deleting the previous post soon - wanted to show you the results, but don't want to proliferate my tampering on the net.
