Not really "new" media, but an interesting aside

We can't spend a weekend in Lothlórien, but here's the next best thing - a pinecone house in the redwoods near Santa Cruz.

I'm following an artist, Donato, who often posts paintings from private collections that I otherwise wouldn't be able to see, and often posts LOTR related pics. I posted the portrait of Tolkien in the birthday thread, since Donato published it on that day. Here's one he posted today. I've screen captured the Bluesky post, and then captured the painting only.
