"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...

Oh my! Yes, that's the one (though my mind seems to have edited the memory to include some more colors in the background - maybe I'm superimposing this on the Loom shot). Thank you so much for taking all that trouble. I gave up at about the 40,000th message - Yahoo (and I) ran out of steam... 2001 is earlier than I remembered it too. I found the screenshot from Loom with Bobbin and the Swan-weavers against a backdrop of a starry lake and willows. That sure was a cool game.
