This week’s WordPress challenge for this week: Share a photo that makes you DREAM!
“It is as hard to explain how this sunlit land was different from the old Narnia as it would be to tell you how the fruits of that country taste. Perhaps you will get some idea of it if you think like this. You may have been in a room in which there was a window that looked out on a lovely bay of the sea or a green valley that wound away among mountains. And in the wall of that room opposite to the window there may have been a looking-glass. And as you turned away from the window you suddenly caught sight of that sea or that valley, all over again, in the looking glass. And the sea in the mirror, or the valley in the mirror, were in one sense just the same as the real ones: yet at the same time they were somehow different – deeper, more wonderful, more like places in a story: in a story you have never heard but very much want to know. The difference between the old Narnia and the new Narnia was like that. The new one was a deeper country: every rock and flower and blade of grass looked as if it meant more.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia
Dorothy: Follow the yellow brick road.
Munchkin: Follow the yellow brick road.
Munchkin: Follow the yellow brick road.
Munchkin: Follow the yellow brick road.
Munchkin: Follow the yellow brick road.
Munchkin: Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road, follow follow follow follow follow the yellow brick road.

Wicked Witch of the West: And now, my beauties, something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye, and soothing to the smell.

Wicked Witch of the West: Poppies… Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleeeeep. Now they’ll sleeeeep!

Dorothy: Oh, please! Please, sir! I’ve got to see the Wizard! The Good Witch of the North sent me!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Prove it!
Scarecrow: She’s wearing the ruby slippers she gave her.
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Oh, so she is! Well, bust my buttons! Why didn’t you say that in the first place? That’s a horse of a different color! Come on in!

Dorothy: Oh, but anyway, Toto, we’re home. Home! And this is my room, and you’re all here. And I’m not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and – oh, Auntie Em – there’s no place like home!
What kinds of things make you dream? 🙂
I love the first photo. It really does capture Narnia.
Thanks Caroline. 🙂 I thought so too.
I’m no sure if fantasy creates dreams or if dreams creates fantasy. Either way, not good to live without either.
Love the photos and references.
Thank you! 🙂 I think both are important as well…
I used to watch The Wizard of Oz on TV every year when I was a kid. I adored Dorothy and even had a favorite doll named after her. I sure miss her… 🙂
I used to like watching it as a kid too, but that nasty witch sure was scary! And so were those flying monkeys.
Yes, they were sooo scary!!
Nice shot! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier on 🙂
