'#Palmyra in the snow'. I've just found this old picture from #Winter2011 I keep in my diary. #TempleofBaalshamin (now damaged), #GrandCollonade (survived), tombs (partly damaged) and palm fronds in a marble calm. In those days nobody could anticipate what would happen next.

Very sad to hear the news of the passing of Christopher Tolkien. Thanks his patient and meticulous work, we know more about how J.R.R. Tolkien created The Lord of the Rings than we know about how any other English author created any other masterwork.

Looking forward to this in April!
