This week’s “Drone Sunday” post from From Where I Drone gives us an incredible view of Mont St. Michel in Normandy, France. Over the past 600 years, the island has functioned as a prominent monastery (accessible to pilgrims only during low tide), a French military fortification, and a prison. Follow From Where I Drone for more incredible drone photos!

The Vanyar – the Fair-Elves, Light-Elves, Spear-Elves


‘The Vanyar [Manwë] loved best of all the Elves, and of
him they received song and poetry.

— As the ages passed the Vanyar grew to love the land of the Valar and the full
light of the Trees, and they forsook the city of Tirion upon Túna, and
dwelt thereafter upon the mountain of Manwë, or about the plains and woods
of Valinor…’ (The Silmarillion)
