Paysage d’Hiver – Die Berge (2024)
2 years ago today, the Swiss ambient black metal project dropped this sprawling, icy full-length. Epic, immersive tracks that pull you into a cold mountainous landscape of frost, isolation, and raw atmosphere. ❄️🖤

Exhausted from this weekend but proud of all the work I got done on my own. It's rewarding, but if I could hire someone to do it all I would 😂 I'm not doing all this shit for fun!
For today's trick, I will be staining the front porch and listening to black metal. Send thoughts and prayers.
If one more person online recommends I get a weighted vest or a vibration plate I think I'm going to lose it. The best thing you can do to build bone density is actually jumping. Start small, work up. Certain health issues can't tolerate vibration or weighted vests.
Lifting weights is of course absolutely fantastic in all regards, but it's the simple act of jumping/stomping (for you too, men), done regularly and building up in intensity and height- that helps bone density the most. You can even start off doing it while sitting down.

It’s hard to imagine now, but just 25 years ago, there wasn’t a single elk roaming the mountains of North Carolina.
Our largest native deer species had been hunted to extinction in the mid-1800s. Generations of Western North Carolinians grew up without ever seeing one in the wild. They were part of our natural history, but no longer part of our living landscape.
That changed in 2001, when the National Park Service partnered with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to bring elk back to Western North Carolina.
And what a success story it’s been.
Today, elk once again roam the mountains, graze in the valleys, and draw visitors from all over the country. The elk have become such a vital part of the scenery that it's hard to believe there was ever a time when they weren't there.
I'm grateful we got to see them return. There's something special about watching a piece of our natural heritage find its way home. ❤️
I immediately was reminded of medieval devil illustrations. If only one existed of the devil doing a grand jeté.
Hit this one up yesterday, enjoyed. 🖤

With this masterful ninth album, the Swedes continue to push the boundaries of their musical world. Their insatiable thirst for experimentation coexists here with certain echoes of the past that resurface (the dark, intense power of their early days). Every riff, every crescendo and every pause is meticulously crafted to create a monumental soundscape in which fury and melancholy are constantly intertwined. Haunting and brilliant.
Five hours later...most of the pressure washing is done. I'm exhausted and going to watch a movie tonight while doing nothing. As someone who goes nonstop, this is rare and I will enjoy it with my dogs!
This morning's task and accompaniment. I hope this color turns out as hoped because I paid $28.60 for a damn quart of paint! 😮

It’s crazy that we likely owe the most significant fantasy work of the twentieth century to a case of trench fever. Had Tolkien not been shipped home to East Yorkshire for convalescence in October 1916, he likely would have died along with most of his battalion.
Thinking a lot today about how our priorities can drastically change from decade to decade and with traumatic events, losses and having to start over again. Age 38-42 was my rock bottom. Fragments of the person I used to be remain, but I've finally forged a whole, solid human. 😂
Anyway, this is a pic someone took for us not long after we moved and got out of that horrible situation, when we were on a hike. We hiked hundreds of miles over the course of a few years and I think it really healed a part of me.
