Kudos @pauhami.bsky.social. Beautiful artwork. It was pointed out in a #dolmenwood deep dive video by @3d6downtheline.com. (To whom, kudos there too:)

Anyway, stumbled across your Instagram. Just amazing work. Much respect.

I was there, Charlie Brown. I was there three thousand years ago, when the strength of Men failed!
You came in that? You’re braver than I thought, Charlie Brown.
