You were only waiting for this moment to be free: Good feeling Won’t you stay with me just a little longerIt always seem...:

autumnallyearlong:

Good feeling
Won’t you stay with me just a little longer
It always seem like you’re leaving
When I need you here just a little longer.

Ohhhhh, dear lady, there’s so many things
that I’ve come to fear
Little voice says I’m going crazy
to see all my worlds disappear.

Funds earned by Pink Floyd’s album “The Dark Side of the Moon” went towards funding The Holy Grail. The band were such fans of the show they would halt recording sessions just to watch Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

jrrtolkiennerd:

“And even as Turin steadied himself in a fork of its boughs, the midmost parts of the Dragon came above him, and swayed down with their weight almost upon his head, ere Glaurung could heave them up. Pale and wrinkled was their underside, and all dank with a grey slime, to which clung all manner of dropping filth; and it stank of death. Then Turambar drew the Black Sword of Beleg and stabbed upwards with all the might of his arm, and of his hate, and the deadly blade, long and greedy, went into the belly even to its hilts.” - The Children of Hurin

God bless Alan Lee.

He’s the first illustrator of The Lord of the Rings, and since I fell in love with this (I’m into TLOR from 2001, but I could read the novel just now) I can’t ignore him.

I think he uses water colors and pastel, he was born around 50s so it’s usual that his style looks like quite old. But very fascinating.

First time I saw his picture was on our copy of Special Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring (at home we have just the first film T.T), it was a rappresentation of ‘Nanosterro’ -I don’t know how to call this in english, anyway it is the Big Place in Moria, where the Fellowship was attacked by orcs.

Soon I’m going to do some survey about him and his art, but right now enjoy the results on Google Image, is very exhaustive :)

Camelopard

“Camelopard was the word for a giraffe in the Middle Ages, inspired by its vaguely camel-like shape and its leopard-like markings.”
