On the slopes of desolation

Some of the last primeval rainforests of Europe (Bosnia).

From myths of fae (vila) living among the rivers and creeks of our homeland; to the ancestral worship of the river gods, to cities and civilizations following the flow of rivers, something always calls me back to their waters, and those hidden ancient natural altars, forever shifting with their waters.

Forest Spirit

[taigabog]

"We all carry the question in the deepest part of our being. We turn on the lights, power up our brains, and fill every crack and crevice with illumination and distraction. But in what shadows remain, there is still that question, waiting for us. Death is waiting for us. Paradoxically, the less space we allot to it, the larger it grows. Perhaps that is why so many of us fear the dark."

Clark Strand, Waking Up to the Dark

These forests are still full of wolves...(Bosnia)
