Skyrim – Two Shores Photography

21Jan

January Prompt ~ Wasteland

Fallen trees and rocky plains are shown. In the distance is an old castle and two lone pine trees.

A wasteland is in the eye of the beholder. Empty rocky plains are no use for farmers but the wilderness is home to wolves and deer as well as giants.

January Prompt ~ In the Circle

by SAB Landmarks, Virtual Photography

The image shows a glowing rune inside a circle carved on the post of a building. It is lit by moonlight. The post and building are all made of wood. The door is elaborately carved.

Wandering by moonlight, I noticed the glowing runes, moonlight letters carved in the buildings all around Whiterun. Were they factions? Warnings? Or Invitations?

January Prompt ~ Elusive Memory

by SAB Travels, Virtual Photography

The image shows a dusty loft bedroom in a home in Skyrim. Sunbeams light the room, streaming through slats in the roof.

The harsh roads lead me to remember, misty-eyed, the morning sunbeams streaming through the inn’s roof in Riverwood.

January Prompt ~ Wrought Iron Gate

by SAB Travels, Virtual Photography

The image is dark except for the center where a wrought iron gate leads out into a sunlit garden. At the center of the garden is a stump with a woodcutter's axe

Deep in the warrens of Riften, I found a peaceful garden…unreachable on the other side of a wrought iron gate.

January Prompt ~ Nightingale

by SAB Landmarks, Travels, Virtual Photography

The image shows four NPCs standing around a tavern, talking. The lighting is golden from candles with exaggerated shadows.

I found my way to the Thieve’s Guild in Riften, following tales of nightingales. So far, I’ve only seen common thieves.

January Prompt ~ Bookstore

by SAB Still Life, Virtual Photography

The image focuses on a bookshelf in a store. There are five books total, three lying flat on one shelf with a woven basket and two standing near a pewter cup.

The trader had a set of books behind the counter, waiting to join my home library.

January Prompt ~ Home of the Sailor

by SAB Travels, Virtual Photography

Across a lake, a ship sits with its sail furled. There is a cabin ashore beside it. The mists are rising from the water.

Beyond the walls of Riftkin, a sailor docks his ship.

January Prompt ~ Contentment

by SAB Travels, Virtual Photography

A fisherman sits to the left, his boat is to the right, floating in a placid lake. Forests and mountains surround him.

The fishers of Skyrim are the epitome of contentment. Sitting with them, I found my own peace.

11Jan

Within the Bleak Falls Barrow, everything is beige, gray, and green. Down a hallway, in which all the walls are carved with runes and symbols, sits a braizer, the fire welcoming in the cold stone tomb.
