Star Wars - Battle of Hoth


I have only very vague recollections of seeing the first Star Wars film in the theater; 
it was “The Empire Strikes Back” that had a significant impression on me, 
especially the "battle of Hoth". I'll never forget the first time I saw 
those towering AT-AT walkers appear on the horizon, and the chill of fear. 
(Now THOSE were some FX, before the age of CGI ...)

I devoted many a moment recreating that scene as a kid -- it's been a few decades, 
but thought I'd try it again. Of course, I had to throw in the Imperial Droid as well.

"I went out for a walk..."


“I only went out for a walk,
and finally concluded to stay out till sundown,
for going out, I found,
was really going in.”
— John Muir, 1938

"Where Nature May Heal and Give Strength"


verybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in,
where nature may heal and give strength
to body and soul alike. - John Muir, The Yosemite (1912).
