But secretly Sauron made One Ring to rule all the others, and their power was bound up with it, to be subject wholly to it and to last only so long as it too should last. And much of the strength and will of Sauron passed into that One Ring; for the power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency; and Sauron forged it in the Mountain of Fire in the Land of Shadow. And while he wore the One Ring he could perceive all the things that were done by means of the lesser rings, and he could see and govern the very thoughts of those that wore them.

It's all so beautiful Like a landscape painting in the sky...

-"A Winter's Tale", by Queen

"A Winter's Tale" was one of the last songs Freddie Mercury ever wrote, inspired by the scenery in Montreux, Switzerland. The song has always been special for me, as it conveys a feeling of complete calm and peace, like a deep breath of fresh air. I hope I captured some of that feeling in this little tribute

Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex)

The very remarkable, prehistoric looking Shoebill is by far my favorite of all African birds. Undeniably intimidating, but also goofy looking, and with a certain degree of grace and poise as well. All around a wonderfully weird animal.
