Description

The first cold winds and snow filled Skies solidify Her. The late autumn darkness of the early Setting sun chills Her being, For She has no soul, And forces Her earthward once more. Rocks and trees, rivers and streams, Shelter Her. The rising of the sun Returns Her to a state of vaporous being So She can travel the land And fill the minds of men with terror. From "The Book of the Red Witch", c.1790

Never mind the minds of men... she's doing a job on mine, as well! Love this series, Jack... even though I wake up screaming at memories of the Good Humor man. Well... it might have been the knife sharpener with his bells ringing... but either way... your images are provocative and conducive to flash backs of all kinds. It's all good, though... :) Kudos, my friend!

Love your birch tree study. Excellent conversion to B&W, I do think you might wish to try a duo-tone with the second colour being of a bronze-brown. Just a thought.

Hmmm. You know, the writing is really descriptive and provokes the imagination. I agree with Squeeka. I would like to see them put together in book form.

Wonderful mood Jack, love the misty mood, and the feel that somethin lives as spirit, as evil, as a being, this series has such evocative feel to it, and this is just wonderful. *V Lina
