"At other times, when the sun shone out clearly,
they witnessed a most unusual weather phenomeneon, one that none of them had
ever experienced, or even heard of before. All of a sudden the pale mist, lit up
by the sun, seemed to 'ignite' somehow, shining out a pure white that obscured
everything else in the world...".
"A matter of mere yards before them, the ground
dropped away all of a sudden down into almost a sheer abyss, and below, in front
of them, and all around them opened into a massive bowl-shaped valley. It
stretched away for miles all around, its floor at least a mile below them, and
almost sheer cliffs hemmed it in on every side. Great. towering cliffs soared
out of the deeply sloping valley sides, and the light of the golden early
morning sun streamed all the way through from the eastern end to set the bare
rock of these cliffs afire with a deep orange radiance. At the foot of them, a
thick wall of trees plunged farther down into the shadowed depths of the huge
valley, shimmering and swaying peacefully in the breeze...". D.
BilsboroughTwo favorite quotes that were remembered on this adventure day, as I gaze over some maps of mountains & valleys near here, that I am now dreaming about discovering. What will be revealed, what will unfold - well that then will be much of the mystery... DSD
