Glad you liked the lichens - it was so dark where I shot that, i wasn't sure if it would turn out at all. Hey, thanks for stopping by.

What is the music? Not sure the waterfall and plastic bottle were needed - for me, that broke the spell of the lone travelling leaf. But maybe the spell needs breaking.

That's what I get for trying to make parallels too freakin' obvious! Excuse me while I go rewrite it. Oh, good point. That’s what I get for trying to make parallels too freakin’ obvious!

I'm wary of misusing terms like "pilgrimage" and "sacred spot" - hence perhaps my inclusion of the plastic bottle in that video. But I visited Lourdes as a kid, and a number of pilgrimage spots in Japan, and I don't recall any of them being especially pristine, either. It's a different concept altogether from wilderness, a sort of separation from everyday life in which people are nonetheless an integral part. taradharma - Sorry about that! You realize, of course, that I am a thorough-going ogre: for ecological reasons, I cheer on the deer hunters, too. Thanks for stopping by, though. marja-leena – That island spot of yours does seem pretty special.
