The Cliffs of Insanity (Moher)

1021

For those of you who are The Princess Bride fans, you probably know that they used the Cliffs of Moher when filming the “Cliffs of Insanity” in the film.

Fezzik:  He has very good arms. [as he regards the Man in Black hanging on to the cliffs without a rope]

Vizzini:  He didn’t fall?  Inconceivable!

Inigo:  You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.

Love that movie….if you’ve never seen it, check it out.  Classic.  Slainte, Lisa

Wood-Elves

657

When I was a child, I would play wood-elves outside for hours.  We had a ring of box bushes that I would sit inside with my collie, Laddie.  He would sit solemnly, guarding me inside the ring, and I would pretend to be a wood-elf with all the rest of my imaginary wee folk with me.  I would find opened walnut shells on the ground; they were the elves’ beds.  I would sit very quietly, because everyone knows that elves can’t tolerate the noise of humans.  This picture, taken in Shenandoah National Park, is the closest I’ll get to being a wood-elf.  Due to the strangeness of angle and camera perspective, I look smaller and more diminutive of leg than usual.  But this makes me strangely happy.  🙂  Go figure.  Slainte, Lisa
