I drove up to Ben Lomond with some friends on Wednesday. Driving up the windy and gravelly path felt very ominous, like the opening of The Shining. I suppose we assisted the approach by playing the The Shining soundtrack on the tinny car stereo. There is a little ski village on top of the mountain and the large chalet was very reminiscent of The Overlook Hotel. There were a few cars around the village but it was extremely quiet; we didn't see any people, just wallabies popping up out of the shrubs. It was like the village was suddenly deserted or perhaps frozen in time. It was so exciting to wander around this setting and imagine all the stories and events that could be set there.
