-The Optical Illusion of the Devil's Bridge

A bridge
like this one is pretty rare. Especially the mood on a foggy morning is
just perfect to be at this spot. Please don't walk over this bridge,
because this one is pretty old and could be destroyed by that and you
really don't want to be that person who ruins such an iconic spot for
all other photographers!

Die Teufelsbrücke by Karl Blechen
In my
featured painting, Teufelsbrücke or Devil’s Bridge painted by the German
Romantic artist, Karl Blechen, in 1832. In the painting we see
the Devil’s Bridge straddling the Swiss River Reuss as it passes through
the Schöllenen Gorge on its way to Lake Lucerne. The legend
of this particular Devil’s Bridge states that the river was so
difficult to cross that a Swiss goat herdsman asked the Devil to make a
bridge. The Devil duly appeared, but required that if he should
construct the bridge, the soul of the first to cross it would be given
to him. The herder agreed, but instead of crossing the bridge first and
risk losing his soul he drove a goat across ahead of him, thus tricking
the devil. The Devil was so angry that he had been duped he
fetched a rock with the intention of smashing the bridge, but an old
woman drew a cross on the rock and this prevented the Devil from being
able to lift it. The rock is still there and, in 1977,
300,000 Swiss Francs were spent to move the 220 ton rock by 127 m in
order to make room for the new Gotthard road tunnel. - SOURCE

Entry to Imladris
Rivendell
is a direct translation or calque into English of
the Sindarin name Imladris, both meaning "deep
valley of the cleft". The name Rivendell is formed
by two English elements: "riven" (split, cloven) and
"dell" (valley), making the whole word purport
"deeply cloven valley". Imladris was also rendered
"Karningul" in Westron, the "Common Tongue" of
Middle-Earth represented as English in the text of
The Lord of the Rings. It is also referred to as The
Last Homely House West of the Mountains, alluding to
the wilderland that lies beyond the Misty Mountains.
