Very cool waterfall. And loud. In addition to the famous giant statues, of course, which did not have my twenty five dollars, the bastards. I also saw a much smaller stone monument to a human standing on some sort of half-wheel-thing half-buried in the ground - the alphabet it was in was very old and very worn, but I've seen it before. It spelled something like Teska. I wonder who he was?

I was thinking of heading further northeast to see the volcanoes, but with my bike broken, I think I'll follow along behind [livejournal.com profile] annathepiper and see if I can't meet up with her in Isengard. I hear the weather is better there and the roast boar is the best on the continent. Maybe they'll know who the little statue is supposed to be.

Also, saw some bald eagles. Made me feel just a little homesick. Ah, well.

Back in our reality, I'm kind of cheating with this photo as a flower picture, but it's pretty, so I'm posting it as one nonetheless:
