Kings Journal no1 for 2017
Added 2017-01-01 20:32:22 +0000 UTCToday I drew a king and visited a castle. Winter has finally come and the mist froze into ice crystals, that are covering everything. I went outside and climbed the walls and towers of this castle. Well, there are stairs for tourists, and I have no clue if "climbing" is what english speaking people use to say for going upstairs. Anyway. I love castles and I love winter. The scenery was special: The mist is so thick for days, that you can hardly see whats in front of you. Do you know the fog in Silent Hill?! Imagine there was a castle ruin! Silence. Little ice crystals falling down the frozen trees and walls with each gentle breeze and you feel the cold on the free parts on your face.
On the picture you can see one of the inner castle walls and a tower. It goes deep down on both sides of the wall. Why is there a branch of a tree?! High above on the castle walls there is a pine. It stands there for around 300 years and it is something you do not see everyday. Water and minerals are rare on a wall, so the shape if the pine is rather small and it looks like a big bonsai tree. To enter the tower you have to walk across it´s roots. They grab deep into the stone and you can´t tell, what is ground and what is pine - over the centuries it became one. The whole place is simply beautiful and I felt a little bit like a king, watching above the ruins, that once formed a home and there was so much space for dreams, when the world seems to end in an eternal mist before your eyes.
