If you go down to the woods today...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Woods

Completely unrelated to anything really, came across this when creating the character image for the woodland section at Tegel. Basically the famous stage musical "Into The Woods" is inspired by the book The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Bettelheim and intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairytales (Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk).
