The Forest Reverie

I have been extremely busy the last few days. Building something new and exciting at the Retreat. You just have to come and take a peek.
The Forest Reverie kind of reminds me of the poem most famous by Edgar Allan Poe, but not quite; there are greater mysteries to be found.

'Tis said that when
      The hands of men
    Tamed this primeval wood,
  And hoary trees with groans of wo,
  Like warriors by an unknown foe,
    Were in their strength subdued,
      The virgin Earth
      Gave instant birth
    To springs that ne'er did flow--
      That in the sun
      Did rivulets run,
  And all around rare flowers did blow--
      The wild rose pale
      Perfumed the gale,
  And the queenly lily adown the dale
      (Whom the sun and the dew
      And the winds did woo),
  With the gourd and the grape luxuriant grew.

It is hidden and not visible, but I am sure you will find it and when you do the strange dream has been revealed. Enjoy!

      So when in tears
      The love of years
    Is wasted like the snow,
  And the fine fibrils of its life
  By the rude wrong of instant strife
    Are broken at a blow--
      Within the heart
      Do springs upstart
    Of which it doth now know,
      And strange, sweet dreams,
      Like silent streams
  That from new fountains overflow,
      With the earlier tide
      Of rivers glide
  Deep in the heart whose hope has died--
  Quenching the fires its ashes hide,--
    Its ashes, whence will spring and grow
      Sweet flowers, ere long,--
    The rare and radiant flowers of song!

by Edgar Allan Poe

UPDATE: For the ladies who came to my working area tonight...
just know that you have been reported to SL...
I do not tolerate abuse.

Roundtrip from Prata Airport to Second Norway Lufthavn, part 1

I would first recommend a good pilot because Prata Airport is located in the deep rain forest. 
"you'll find a dirt runway nearly overtaken by cliffs and trees. You will be able to enjoy beautiful scenery, mini golf, horseback riding, even river kayaking. Flying lessons offered every Saturday to anyone interested in learning how to fly and about the aviation community!"

I trusted my Avi-life to Herr Kranfel who gave me a sample helicopter ride over the airport and rain forest.

I was trying to negotiate the price for this flight at the Rainforest Vacation Restaurant to the Second Norway Lufthavn with some "footsies" .

But I had to use a bit more savaged approach. After all this is the jungle out here.
