Midnight Monsters: A Startled Moontinkifer
Do not be afraid. Like many night creatures, they just wish to be left alone. These secretive beings often hide in the shadows, except when the moon is full and bright. The midnight moon is their time of wonder and if you happen to be in the right place at the right time, you just may witness some magical happenings. This particular midnight monster is called Moontinkifer and can be found high up in the Balkan mountain range on the border between Bulgaria and eastern Serbia . It was not easy getting to this destination, but I have found it worth the effort, expense and skinned knees. Legend says that if one is lucky enough to spot them during the day, they appear as drab, colorless creatures, almost invisible against the mountain landscape of rocks and boulders. They shine (literally) at night when they come out of their hiding places to dance. Moonlight causes a shimmering transformation from dull gray to a luminous rainbow colored glow! It is believed that the glimmer of incandescent color and magical movements is their way of attracting a mate. Otherwise, they appear to be quite shy, non-aggressive individuals, who unfortunately, startle easily.

A startled looking creature stares with alarm at the viewer, frozen in place. Drawn in pencil with purple, green and bits of other colors. Behind its head, a white circle of moon. NOTE: This description is created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Nocturne With Architecture, Antonio Basoli 1810

You'd probably see some animals slinking around here. Christian animals 😁

Warm light coming from within the chamber on the left. Maybe that's where the party is. Or where they opened a portal to another dimension. Maybe an underground book club discussing banned books.

The space seems really open and free and I like the vegetation taking over. This place has a local name like "The Old ____"

an outdoor corridor between two rows of tall structures is pictured with a tower rising against the sky beyond it. The architecture is made of crumbling stone and uses arches and columns in some type of pre-modern style like Gothic or Roman, idk. The place seems abandoned and there are vines and bushes and even trees taking hold in the cracks. The moon and some scattered clouds are visible in the night sky. There is a large stone crucifix and a lone figure in a religious-looking robe with his back to us and dwarfed by the scale of the structures and arches
