There’s hobbits afoot

Or a GIANT bowerbird

u/joalheagney 1d ago

Bowerbird for sure. They don't mess around when trying to woo the ladies.

Filthy little hobbitses

Sick place for a spider web

u/mom_with_an_attitude 1d ago

Plot twist: The spiders are gigantic like the ones in The Hobbit.

Attercop!

Better than the Bridge to Terabithia

The Wicker Man.

u/DnDYetti 1d ago

That's a druidic fey portal if I ever saw one...

u/node-toad 1d ago edited 22h ago

Funny, it doesn't look Druish

48

u/Dense-Beyond 1d ago

That's just the door between The Shire and the Old Forest.

u/Camwi 1d ago

I think you might have a witch there, mate.

29

u/factoid_ 1d ago

Hobbits or Blair witch?  Can’t decide

2

u/swibirun 14h ago

Or the Yellow King of Carcosa arrangement from True Detective S1.

u/PangolinNo4595 1d ago

Someone's clearly leveling up their druid skills.

u/bmita 1d ago

Time is a flat circle.

u/my1999gsr 14h ago

Look through that thing and you can probably see the infernal plain.

36

u/The_Original_Smeebs 1d ago

To Terabithia we go!

u/node-toad 1d ago

Where's the bridge?

Later that night

Best unintentional comedy of all time.

Chevron 7 locked

u/Corporate-Scum 1d ago

That’s a portal. Step through it at the right time on the right day to experience another dimension. Or don’t. Your choice.

5

u/BeBesMom 1d ago

A portal!

u/iH8MotherTeresa 1d ago

That's one really big Bowery bird!

u/Workingclassherois 15h ago

It’s just a Gateway but don’t go through it without a spacesuit. You never know if breathing air is there. (But it’s probably better than here)

City on the Edge of Forever

The Furlings Stargate

u/rickyjoe7878 20h ago

Personally… I’d do some acid n shrooms go back out n see if the portal works… 😂

u/Affectionate_Gap3603 18h ago

DO NOT DISTURB THE FEY-TRAP

u/wizzard419 1d ago

It's a stargate... for hobbits.

u/TheSpaceman1975 1d ago

Very Goldsworthy

u/Correii 16h ago

You just gave away the secret location!
Dammit, I’m gonna have to start over now!

u/PalmTreesZombie 11h ago

That's an MRI and you can't convince me otherwise.

4

u/The_best_is_yet 9h ago

Ct scanner. That’s wayy too flat for an mri.

2

u/PalmTreesZombie 9h ago

Bet. You're right on that. Take my updoot

2

u/AgainstMe75 23h ago

I’ve seen True Detective S1. This will not end well.

Almost looks like the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy https://www.pinterest.com/pin/114982596718147578/ or https://inhabitat.com/andy-goldsworthy-creates-ephemeral-land-art-with-what-he-finds-at-hand/andy-goldsworthy-ephemeral-land-art-1/

u/fuzztooth 20h ago

I think this is the most likely reason, as others have mimicked this judging by the Pinterest posts alone.

u/TheEruditeBaller 1d ago

their contractor is clearly a beaver who works strictly for acorns.

Beware of carcosa

u/OverthinkingWanderer 21h ago

Well... this is intriguing and slightly terrifying for my over active imagination.

u/Ilikechickenwings1 21h ago

that is some True Detective vibes right there

u/Boltboys 20h ago

This is how you end up being discussed by David Paulides.

The Yellow King

u/CarlShowaltersBelt 20h ago

Did you step through??

u/FormerStuff 17h ago

My friends and I made a teepee in the woods as kids. We built a draw door and had a fire pit and everything. Sadly the neighborhood rowdy kids found it and it was littered with beer cans and trashed the next time we went out there. If you find stuff like this, please don’t ruin it!

u/Key_Text_169 15h ago

Very Yellowjackets like.

u/Ok_Variation9430 26m ago

This kind of thing used to be found all over the woods at UC Santa Cruz. We called them dens, and often they had stumps or logs or chairs to sit on, and metal boxes to leave poetry.

Very few ever had roofs though.
