Equinox Blessings 🍃🌲🌿🍂🌳🍁 Summer is at a close and it is a time to reap what we have sown. As the sun sets earlier and the wind and rain blow the leaves from the trees, we are reminded it is time to let go. We are the gateway to a new season and as we gather the harvest we give thanks that it will sustain us through the darkness of winter.

“The wheel of the year is turning once more. Here in the Northern Hemisphere we being our journey into Autumn on this this Autumnal Equinox. To me, this is a time for reflection, for giving thanks for all the growth and beauty in my garden in the Summer months and remembering that there can be beauty in every season. Of course, for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere their Spring is just beginning. Nature continues her journey”. 🌳🍃🍂 The Guardian of the Woods.

Danish Artist Thomas Dambo has built seven giant trolls from reclaimed wood in the de schore of boom, belgium. Using old shelves, pallets and branches from fallen trees Dambo has created 13 to 60 foot tall sculptures,which are dotted around the forest with some practicing chores or taking a rest.

The installation makes the 15th anniversary of the electronic festival known as tomorrowland as a gift to the local community, over 200 volunteers helped to collect the materials needed before Dambo and a crew of 15 people spent 25 weeks building the sculptures.

To accompany the sculptures Dambo has written a rap that tells an enchanting fairytale of seven giant trolls from the forest they watch the little people their concerns growing for what the future may hold if they were left to their own devices. The trolls decide to build a tower inviting the little people into the forest to climb it so they can see the vast beauty of nature.

Dambo is known for his mythical troll sculptures having installed them in several locations across the world including puerto rico, south korea, across the US and Denmark.
