    Nice view out to the icelands. Great capture Rick. I know this kind of visual looking clouded sky by now very well. Looks great with the water, must be Pure Waters.

    BTW great music, slow heaviness, dynamic & atmospheric. The voice has the right timbre to fit the music. Man she is a beauty.

      Thank you very much, Michael!

      It is Pure Waters, but in Purity form. Laast did one final mod, a graphical overhaul where Pure Waters is included. Since I can't run any ENB, this mod has been a real blessing to me.

      About the girl, her name is Aleah, born in South Africa, but raised here in Sweden. She's been doing a few projects with others and songs by herself. This one is from a project called Trees of Eternity, where she works together with Juha Raivio, guitarist and songwriter from the band Swallow the Sun - a Finnish death/doom metal band.

      And yes, she's very beautiful with almost elven features, as is the music...

      Thanks for the info Rick. I will sure have a closer see on what she has done so far musically. Keep your great choices in music coming mate !

      About ENB, in my opinion it´s not really that essential. IMO Vanilla running with just a few mods like for example Purity, ELFX, by choice maybe SFO and some special mods for textures, FX etc. just adds in so much substance to the game that it´s just fine, or let´s say I am overall fine with it.

      Ok, but I think when you are really into screen-archery, which I´m certainly not, I guess you just go from one to the other to get more & more visually out of the game. I mean It´s just a humanly native habit.
      For instance no matter how good or fantastic a game image will look here on the nexus it's nothing compared to actually play the game and discover the lands of Skyrim in motion. Of course you have to be in 1st person mode. Sorry.

      P.S. A great game shot is like a trophy, we (or some) need them, as we are what we always are to be, hunters & collectors.

      Take it easy Rick

      Thank you very much!

      This one turned out pretty nicely, I must admit. Almost just black and a soft sky with some clouds touched by reddish blue strokes. It's really as calm and serene as I wanted it...

      Yeah, I can understand why you place this near Winterhold. The barren coastline and depth of the horizon, but this is actually captured right by the Solitude Docks...

      The music is gorgeous, one of my favorite bands when I'm in the mood for some melancholy writing (hence the poem on the earlier shot).
