I wish I knew more about it to engage you in the topic discussion but it seems always a bit fragmented in that region so as to never really know what is going on. I did have a view closer to the ground though, the other night during a bit of intense inebriation. I wandered out in nearby wood to relieve a bit and fell to the ground at which time I noticed a skull. I jumped up and called the police and as I was waiting curiosity got the best of me. So I picked up the skull and wondered, who was this person, what was this person all about and why did this person have deer horns?
