Heads Will Roll

Over a deep black part of the stream, not far from the church, was formerly thrown a wooden bridge; the road that led to it, and the bridge itself, were thickly shaded by overhanging trees, which cast a gloom about it, even in the daytime; but occasioned a fearful darkness at night. This was one of the favorite haunts of the headless horseman; and the place where he was most frequently encountered. from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving

For always in my thought and my heart….
Pretty small princess, with the porcelain dye,

Your heart, for always, their burning flames.

Lake Lenore, Washington, USA

More than 15,000 years ago the largest and most powerful scientifically documented freshwater flood to occur on earth happened in the Pacific Northwest.[ http://foco.us/bDiE ] The floodwaters, moving up to 60 mph, created the largest waterfall to ever exist–Dry Falls almost 400 ft tall and taller than Niagra Falls.. Lake Lenore is a remnant of this flood. Nearby is Grand Coulee Dam.
