Well of Souls - a photo on Flickriver

Well of Souls

            Sunday morning, very early. I decided to catch the sunrise this morning in the “Loonse en Drunense Duinen”. This is a 14 square mile national park situated in the south of the Netherlands, between the cities of Tilburg, Waalwijk & 's-Hertogenbosch.
 
And somehow… standing there… it gave me this “Indiana-Jones-in-the-map-room-feeling”: in the movie “Raiders of the Los Ark” the Map Room is a miniature model of the city of Tanis and shows the possessor of the Staff of Ra, with its crystal headpiece, where the Well of Souls is located. It is shown when the sunlight hits the headpiece's crystal centre at 9 AM sharp, shining a beam of intensive light upon the model of the city, pointing to the Well of Souls, and at the same time filling the entire room with a bright light. 

Well, I was there a little earlier than 9 AM and I did not have a Staff of Ra, but the effect was the same. The sands and heather were my Tanis map room and the low hanging haze served perfectly as the headpiece’s crystal. I only had to wait for the sun, touching the haze at that particular moment, breaking the light and filling the entire area with this amazing orange light. It did not show the location of the Well of Souls, but it did show a place to return to. Soon. Definitely!
