"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...

Stop seeing the same things I do!

(Ok, I definitely don't really mean that.)

That is really really cool. (Up for the Arboretum this weekend?)

That is a very lovely poem. And the picture of the tree is really quite lovely.

AAAUGH!!! I CAN'T FIND IT!! IT DOESN'T EXIST!!

Seriously... I found the poem itself on my hard drive, although I was frustrated that I didn't date-stamp it, which would have helped me narrow down where to look in the message archives. Unfortunately, I don't see it in the faerietales archives (where I was sure I'd posted it), which are small and easy to trawl through. I'm currently using a pretty unique word from the poem as my search string, hoping that I will be able to find it and thus a pointer to what visual I might have used, but no luck so far. Grr. I wish it searched more than 300 messages at a time. I'm only back to 43143-42799 of 59602. Stupid elven-realities. *glowers at it*

Aha! Way farther back than I thought - October of 2001. (I had thought sure it was in the summer of 2002, for some reason.) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/elven-realities/message/35882
The file I uploaded is no longer there, but now I know why you thought it was me that did it: I had originally uploaded a scan of a sketch in my journal (and later amended it to a screenshot from Loom). That was done in silver gel pen on the black journal-paper.
