"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare


So we (or at least the subscribers) can finally change our usernames here without having to start all over again with a new gallery. Very handy. I see a lot of my friends here have changed their names already. I'll stick at my old name here though. At least a little longer. My username has its story, it has followed me for many years in several places, and was once made by me about eight years ago. I needed to find a fitting name for my writings, in what now seems to be in another life. It was before I started taking photos. I went online and found a glossary of elfen words. Linlith is a made-up name of two words in elfish, the first means "Song", the other "Ashes". The meaning of Linlith is therefore  "Song from the ashes".  Linlith saw the daylight sometime around 2004, and has been with me ever since. I would miss her if I would let her go now. She is me, but somehow a nick always starts to live a life of its own. Just like Linlith did. Linlith is no longer writing with words, she is writing with light. I have this feeling she will go on writing like this for a long time, so stay tuned. There will be new stories to be told. And old tales to bring back to life.


May has been wonderful so far.
Summer is arriving in full speed.
The world is green, and life is good.
