The Sleeping Sagas
Before the time of maps and men, there were the mountains. They are the sleeping giants of the north, their spines of granite and gneiss holding the memory of creation itself. To walk among them is to step into a forgotten saga. Every twisted birch tree is a wizened old storyteller, every mist-shrouded peak a fortress for a king who never was, and every stream sings a song of forgotten magic.
Through my lens, I seek not just to capture a landscape, but to reveal the epic that slumbers within it. This gallery is a collection of portals—glimpses into a world that feels both real and dreamlike, where every shadow could hide a secret and every horizon promises an adventure. Look closely, and perhaps you will hear the mountains' story, too.
"These are not mountains of stone, but the spines of slumbering titans, dreaming of an age before the sun."

The Riddle of the Summit's Path
I am a trial in three acts, a tale carved into stone and sky.
First, I am the path you must take,
A winding voyage that shapes the soul.
I am the rhythm that guides your steps,
The steady march toward your goal.
Next, I become the frozen pause,
A stillness that grips and holds you tight.
I silence the rain, I steal your breath,
A mirrored trial testing your might.
Finally, I am the radiant triumph,
The fiery shield atop the climb.
I banish darkness with blazing light,
The truth unveiled, beyond all time.
The Storyteller's Reveal
You have walked the Summit's Path and seen its truth. The story unfolds in three marks:
Raido (ᚱ) was your first step: The Journey. It was the call of the winding trail, the rhythm of movement, the deliberate choice to seek what lies ahead.
You were then met by Isa (ᛁ): The Challenge. It was the sudden halt, the world frozen in a sheet of ice. A moment of stillness that demanded patience and inner strength before the path could continue.
And from that stillness, you broke through into the light of Sowilo (ᛋ): The Revelation. The sun cresting the peak, the victory of clarity, the life-affirming warmth after the cold.
