That first pic is part of the view I have on my way to work :) Stray reindeer like to graze in the field on the picture. There's a little strip of sand where the field borders the estuary, and on warm summer days the reindeer lie on the sand and sunbathe :) (They're all supposed to be up the mountain and not in our yards, though)
Hi there! :) I was searching Dreamwidth for Baldur's Gate and came across your name, Cel, I hope this isn't too creepy of me to find you here.
Those photos are amazing--the landscape looks really different to my country. The second one with the snowy mountains and the tree looks gorgeous. I also like the one with the lake and that stark grey pattern of rocks.
Aha, my notions too limited. I like the flowers and the tangle of ferns too, very vivid colours and interesting shapes.
You're missed over on the Attic; computer troubles still? If/when you post more of Ember's Tale I look forward to reading it. :) Reading your journal and seeing these pictures reminds me of how graceful your writing is.
To further blow your mind, there are no pictures of flowers and ferns :p Four 'petals' in a square: the leaves of a bunchberry plant (without berries) Two green and one red leaf: small rowan tree Tangly bits with white fluff: spent fireweed seed pods
I am still writing her story, but am dealing with a six month severe writing block. I have three tolerable chapters and one blah chapter so far, and have just decided to not post any till I manage to finish SOA so I can do it all in one segment instead of risking additional very long pauses.
But yes, my computer is the reason I've fallen out of reading much at the attic. Regular interface is too slow and mobile interface is to uninformative and thus uninspiring. I do most of my reading at ff.net and ao3 now, and I haven't even read much there either the past half year or so.
No wonder your descriptions of the natural world are so beautiful in your stories. :)
That sounds admirable restraint! I find writing chapters in advance helps me a lot; when I've gone dry I can always convince myself I'm doing something productive by editing the previous ones.
Do you have an AO3 account? I have an AO3 invitation spare.
All pictures are taken from the island I live on (or, in pic 1, from the bridge that connects it to the island the town is on). The mountain in pic 2 is the mountain at the far right in pic 1, taken on a scenic drive with my mother. Pic 3 is further along on the same drive :) All the other pics are my everyday immediate surroundings, which help make it bearable that they're covered in snow for half the year :)

Also, that is no lake but a sound between this island and the mainland.
