Lovecraft novel, a medieval fortress beside a placid lake, and an entire section called "Heaven's Hieroglyphics", which is unsurpassed in the way it captures lightning storms. "In Michael Ruetz's moody, atmospheric color photographs, the mysterious is divulged. The paradoxical, what once seemed invisible, is revealed in these photographs, which prove Oscar Wilde's adage that the 'mystery is the visible, not the invisible' ".
