Hello Hivians,
In this round I'm not going to participate for the final and for the contest. But that did not stop me from also making a collage. I like the challenge every week very much and can't miss that.
And even so, as always, 20% of the rewards go to LMAC as beneficiary.
Of course, as always a little story first... :-)
Once upon a time there was a dwarf named Edward. He was a geologist by profession and worked for the royal court of the dwarf king.
One day the king gave him the order to search for gold in the northern realms.
Edward didn't let on that he really didn't like the job. He is always on the road so much that he hardly has time to do things that he enjoys. The king is too greedy. He'll have him search the whole world for more gold.
But the king's order must be obeyed. After all, the king is the king!
So he immediately made his way to the nothern realms and walked many many days and nights, over mountains and through valleys, through deserts and through swamps.
When arrived, he immediately began searching the entire area for veins of gold. He looked under every stone, in every cave, under every tree, but he there wasn't any gold.
There was only one place he had not yet looked. The lake!
He quickly ran to the lake, crawled hastily onto a large stone that lay on the shore and then looked down into the water. Gold should be seen sparkling at the bottom of the lake.
For a long time he looked into the lake, until the chirping of the birds and gentle water splashing slowly released him from his task load.
He fell into a kind of meditative state. At first his eyes felt dizzy, then his vision slowly became clearer and even clearer than before. Unhurried, he let his eyes slide over the lake.
The scales finaly fell from his eyes... "I have found gold! This place is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. This is where I'm going to stay. This place is my gold! Screw the king!"
My collage
In this collage you can see Edward enjoying his gold.
LMAC is a great community for artists of all skill levels. The name of the community is an abbreviation and stands for "Let's make a collage". Just take a look. Even if you think you are not an artist, LMAC will probably prove you wrong.
