Congratulations, Alan Lee. Chapeau.
A truly remarkable crossing knot-based bowline : wide curves / yet compact, intricately entangled / yet moderately convoluted, clearly traced so easily inspected paths of all the lines, an almost perfect balance between the nipping and the collar structures which occupy almost the same volume into the knot s nub, a revolutionary
φ-shaped crossing knot ... I believe it is one of the most rigid structures you had tied, after the beauty of the
Lee s locket bowline ( re-tucked Yosemite bowline ).
I should had waited the evening to take pictures of it - because one can not have the shadows he wishes early in the morning - but I just could nt waited so long !
So, I intervened at the final files a little bit... However, as we all know, you can tell a creature is beautiful in the morning - perhaps dreams, rather than reality, which should shape faces. Thia is a beautiful "she"
, no picture can hide this fact !
P.S. The reader should compare this beauty with the other, similar one :
