The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame

He therefore turned to mankind only with regret. His cathedral was enough for him. It was peopled with marble figures of kings, saints and bishops who at least did not laugh in his face and looked at him with only tranquility and benevolence. The other statues, those of monsters and demons, had no hatred for him – he resembled them too closely for that. It was rather the rest of mankind that they jeered at. The saints were his friends and blessed him; the monsters were his friends and kept watch over him.

Terlingua Cemetery

I bet a Haunter out there has duplicated this kind of cemetery on their lawn, but in all my years of searching for blog material, I've never seen photos of such a thing. Somebody better set something like this up on their property for Halloween 2022.

Photos from a bunch of different photographers below:

Fires Of Odin

We fought with swords,
before Boring-holmi.
We held bloody shields:
we stained our spears.
Showers of arrows brake the shield in pieces.
The bow sent forth the glittering steel.
Volnir fell in the conflict,
than whom there was not a greater king.
Wide on the shores lay the scattered dead:
the wolves rejoiced over their prey.

(Verse from the Krákumál.)
