Krigsveteraner bor i skovene

Krigsveteraner bor i skovene Af ASGER WESTHLARS NØRGAARD PEDERSEN jyllandsposten
Offentliggjort 20.06.10kl. 23:30
Hjemvendte soldater er flyttet ud i bl.a. Munkebjerg Skov, Frijsenborgskovene og Rold Skov.
Danske krigsveteraner har så svært ved at begå sig herhjemme, at flere melder sig helt ud af samfundet og flytter ud i større danske skove. Her bor de i bivuak, lever af bær, fanger dyr og holder sig på lang afstand af civilisationen, forklarer folk med kendskab til de hjemvendte soldater.
Thomas Furustubbe har været udsendt til Balkan fem gange i 1990'erne og har et tæt netværk til flere veteraner:
»Jeg ved med garanti, at der lige nu løber mindst tre veteraner rundt i skovene i Jylland. Og jeg har kendskab til yderligere et par stykker, som har boet i skoven. De er flygtet derud, fordi de ikke kan eksistere i en lejlighed.«
I kampberedskab Thomas Furustubbe advarer mod at opsøge dem:
»Deres kroppe er stadig i kampberedskab. Mange af veteranerne vil opfatte andre mennesker som indtrængen på deres område. De lever ligesom gamle Vietnam-veteraner i USA: De har endnu ikke sluppet krigen og føler sig ikke velkomne i samfundet.«
Yvonne Tønnesen fra Livlinen i Hærens Konstabel- og Korporalforening har kendskab til otte tidligere soldater, som er flyttet permanent i skoven. De bor bl.a. i Munkebjerg Skov ved Vejle, Frijsenborgskovene ved Hammel, Rold Skov i Himmerland og Marselisborg Skov ved Århus. Der er især tale om veteraner fra Balkan-krigen.

Ent
Ents are a fictional race of humanoid trees from J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle-earth. They appear to have been inspired by the talking trees of many of the world's folklores (see tree (mythology) for more information). At the time The Lord of the Rings takes place, there are no young ents (known as entings) because the entwives (female ents) were lost.

Treebeard, the oldest living Ent, is described as
large Man-like, almost Troll-like, figure, at least fourteen foot high, very sturdy, with a tall head, and hardly any neck. Whether it was clad in stuff like green and grey bark, or whether that was its hide, was difficult to say. At any rate the arms, at a short distance from the trunk, were not wrinkled, but covered with a brown smooth skin. The large feet had seven toes each. The lower part of the long face was covered with a sweeping grey beard, bushy, almost twiggy at the roots, thin and mossy at the ends. But at the moment the hobbits noted little but the eyes. These deep eyes were now surveying them, slow and solemn, but very penetrating.

Ents are an old race that appeared in Middle-earth when the Elves did. They were apparently created by Eru Ilúvatar at the behest of Yavanna: when she learned of Aulë's children, the Dwarves, she foresaw that they would fell trees, and desired creatures to serve as Shepherds of the Trees to protect the forests from Dwarves and other perils. Although the Ents were sentient beings from the time of their awakening, they did not know how to speak until the Elves taught them. Treebeard said that the Elves "cured us of dumbness", that it was a great gift that could not be forgotten. ("They always wished to talk to everything, the old Elves did.") In the Third Age of Middle-earth, the forest of Fangorn was the only place known still to be inhabited by Ents, although the Ent-like Huorns may have survived elsewhere, as in the Old Forest.
Ents exhibit wide variation in personal traits (height, heft, colouring, even the number of digits), as they came to resemble somewhat the specific types of trees that they shepherded. Quickbeam, for example, guarded Rowan trees and bore some resemblance to rowans: tall and slender, smooth-skinned, with ruddy lips and grey-green hair. Ents share some weaknesses of trees as well, and can be burned and chopped.

Ents are tall and very strong, capable of tearing apart rock and stone. Tolkien describes them as tossing great slabs of stone about, and ripping down the walls of Isengard "like bread-crust". Treebeard boasted of their strength to Merry and Pippin; he said that Ents were much more powerful than Trolls, which Morgoth made in the First Age in mockery of Ents.
The Sindarin word for Ent is Onod (plural Enyd). Sindarin Onodrim refers to the Ents as a race.

Forest moon of endor, the empire strikes back

Endor (also known as the Forest Moon of Endor and the Sanctuary Moon) was a small forested moon orbiting the gas giant planet of Endor. An enchanted world, Endor was notable for being the native home of the Ewoks, and being the location of the Battle of Endor, which would result in the downfall of the Empire and the first death of the Emperor Palpatine. Due to its proximity to the inhospitable Unknown Regions, Endor was a relatively quiet planetoid both prior to and after the battle.
Endor was also known for the vast amount of sentient species it supported, from baseline to exotic. This was largely due to the extremely large amount of shipwrecks Endor experienced; it has been compared to a "desert island" in space.
About Studio Dré Wapenaar
CANVAS-ARCHITECTURE, -DESIGN and -SCULPTURE
"Studio Dré Wapenaar works at the interface of architecture, design and sculpture. Sculpture is the base. Working with sculptures, presented in a three-dimensional context, is dealing with people turning around the work and being confronted with it. In working with tents and pavilions this movement is enlarged towards people turning and twisting around each other as well. It can be seen as a result of the quest to find out how groups of people and individuals relate. Tents, with the universal language they speak, are an excellent means to understand at least something of the chemistry between people.

The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane.

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a short story by Washington Irving contained in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., written while he was living in Birmingham, England, and first published in 1820.

A pleasing land of drowsy head it was,
Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye;
And of gay castles in the clouds that pass,
Forever flushing round a summer sky.
CASTLE OF INDOLENCE.
