Forest Magic in the City

I elfed today. Found the forest hidden in the city. Went walking in it. Some people look like they've made it their home. Don't blame them, it makes sense. I stayed away from their domiciles, turned back whenever a trail started looking like it would take me to their tents and lean-tos. Had the weirdest feeling of being deeper in untamed nature there, where the rush of road noise never left me and where evidence of man's habitation was all around and in some cases inter-strewn, than I felt at Four Quarters last Thresholds. Perhaps it's because Four Quarters has become deeply familiar, while this place was new and wild and untamed by me. This wasn't urban exploration, I didn't go anywhere that established paths and trails did not take me, but yet at the same time it was. When I stepped off the paved path and onto the foot trails where a new forest people have made their home... it was.

Edited 9/4/07 - something was missing in that last line.

Ancient Beehives Discovered.

PS: I think these were made with cob or at least something similar. Unbaked clay and straw... that's the basic recipe for cob, right? More or less?
