last words of Glaurung…

(and he was wittier in the book, even:)

“Thereat Glaurung stirred for the last time ere he died, and he spoke with his last breath, saying: ‘Hail, Nienor, daughter of Húrin. We meet again ere the end. I give thee joy that thou hast found thy brother at last. And now thou shalt know him: a stabber in the dark, treacherous to foes, faithless to friends, and a curse unto his kin, Túrin son of Húrin! But the worst of all his deeds thou shalt feel in thyself.” — The Silmarillion, Of Túrin Turambar

Valerio Minato's photo that won the Astronomy Picture of the Day Contest by NASA on December 25th, 2023.

In the picture: the moon, the Monviso Mount and the Basilica of Superga (on the Superga hill) outside Turin are all aligned. it took him 6 years to take this shot (and I take it as an example to never give up on your dreams).

“Every character in the Silmarillion has so many names” factoid actually a statistical error. Most characters in the Silmarillion don’t have more than one or two names. Túrin Neithan Gorthol Agarwaen son of Úmarth Adanedhel Mormegil Thurin Wildman of the Woods Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga, who lived in a cave and has ten names, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

I wanted to capture their gentle moment, but once it was finished, remembering how their story ends made the whole scene ache a little.
