Wales in the dark
I LOVE the dark and the tricks your mind can play on you. A few years I was staying with some friends in a caravan on the Gower Peninsula and after sharing a joint we went for a walk along the coastal path, it was a very overcast night so it was pitch black. Stumbling over the rocks and laughing nervously at how difficult it is to navigate a footpath when you can barely see your hand in front of you we all stopped dead. A few yards ahead the bushes were glowing green. Er.. is everyone else seeing this? Am i imagining that? Slighty freaked out we crept closer and discovered the bushes were teeming with glow worms, none of us had seen them in real life before, they're incredible. The bushes on either side were pulsing green in the dark.

After spending far too long in an absorbed slightly stoned appreciation of glow worms we carried on but 100m on froze again as we felt a rumble under our feet and a noise building towards us. Mutters of 'wtf?' 'christ what's that?' and we all started shrinking back. Out of the dark a group of 8 or 9 horses thundered past us about a foot from where we were standing and carried on past along the cliff top. I nearly shat myself. It was too much and we admitted defeat, turned tail and stumbled back to the caravan where it was safe.

Glow worms rock, wild horses scare silly.

Glow worms ARE amazing
The one and only time I've seen real live glow worms was the one and only time I ever had a really good trip on acid. Friendly little glow worms, aww. It was a balmy summer night and some friends and I were walking up a path between two tall leafy hedges. The moonlit path was dead straight and went slightly uphill, seemed to go on forever - then we saw the glow worms. It was like a glowing green tunnel of magic. It must have taken us two hours to walk 500 yards. We were completely enchanted by them. Held them delicately in the palms of our hands and marvelled, feeling at one with the miracle of nature.

And,
I wish I was a glow worm
A glow worm's never glum
It's hard to be unhappy
When the sun shines out of your bum...

EDIT: Wild horses that night may have broken my mind, I'm glad that didn't happen.
