The sea drowns my ears 🌊 The mist shrouds my eyes 🌫 The wind hurries among the pines 🌲 Tolkien. The North. Books. History. Shower thoughts. I think I'm dumb.

The Galloway Hoard was discovered by detectorist Derek McLennan at Balmaghie, Kirkcudbrightshire, #OTD in 2014. Deposited around AD 900, it is both Scotland’s earliest Viking-Age hoard and the richest ever found in Britain and Ireland. 📸National Museums Scotland #medievalsky
Key items from the Galloway Hoard including the lidded vessel, rock crystal jar and brooches.

There is a lot to choose from, but I haven't seen it here yet, so: Ducks by Kate Beaton

I was likely there with you into the wee hours that night! I don't do them anymore but that was my last season running events (which is to say: all of the weddings) at the resort. Cheers!

It's a place called Oceanstone Resort & Hydrothermal spa right on the Atlantic in a place called Indian Harbour, Nova Scotia - not far from Halifax.

Ha, I'd recognize that view anywhere! I've worked at OS for 8 years, I hope your stay was nice. That's probably my favourite tree on property, it lost its head a couple of years ago.

Thought I had the artist's name in the frame, oops. It's Luke Anderson, or sabretooth1100.

I was slightly apprehensive to share because it's a fairly violent image. But what I got out of it, and what moved me pretty deeply as a #Tolkien fan is the defiance; the resigned and delayed hope. Even on the darkest days we need to hold hope in our hearts, clenched like a fist.

Last of all Hurin stood alone. Then he cast side his shield, and wielded an axe two handed; […] and each time he slew Hurin cried: ‘Aure entuluva! Day shall come again!’” With another depiction of the same, from one of the best.

A few bits of the relevant text: “This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise.”

For any who need to hear it (I'm one such):
Tall man is surrounded and overwhelmed by a mass of goblins, yet fights on. A caption reads "Day shall come again!" in English and elvish
