      Thank you very much!

      This has to be one of those shots where it's all about being at the right spot at the right time. I mean, I wasn't even near him, saw him off from the road at distance andf then that silver galaxy on the sky as well - just made the picture complete!

    Nice catch Rick! This guy usually gets so far away when he appears you never catch him. He once stopped in the graveyard near Dead Man's cairn in my game, but I still have no idea what quest he is for if any.

      Thank you kindly, Patrick!

      He is a mystery and I like him! He provides a story for some reason, but it's yet to be found out which, even for me. I had much luck with this, saw him riding fast down the crossroad I was heading for, just when I was shooting for another motif. His blue flashes called on my attention and there he was, ghost horse and man...

    It has been speculated that the headless horseman is actually the ghost of Ragnar the Red, whose song is a popular tune in Skyrim's taverns. Nice pic!

      As his ugly red head head rolled around on the floor! Makes sense!

      It does make sense, since the tale has become very popular among bards and in taverns. I think I'll join in on this version and call the horseman Ragnar from now on...

      Thank you, Fabrizio!

      Thank you very much!

      The sky got my thrilled when I saw it in the game while shooting this. That silvery effect high up above really plays well with the ghastly blue of the horseman...

    Awesome shot of the mysterious headless horseman, great color, and the music is superb, it gets very intense and also very dark at times, well done Rick!

      Thank you so much, Michael!

      If you have seen the movie - or read the story - then you know this music was meant for the headless horseman. It's creepy time in haunted town...

      Thank you, Queenie!

      I couldn't hold on to it any longer! I was saving this for Halloween, but I figured too many of us would have the same idea. Also, not everyone celebrates Halloween - it's a rather new thing in Sweden - so I decided to let him run through the night a bit earlier than expected...

    Nice shot! he's definitely something that made me question whether i installed too many mods or not. didn't know it was actually part of the game. great music choice too

      Thank you so much, hostorm!

      I think he has surprised each and everyone that's been running into him! He stands for the gothic theme in the game...well, along with all the vampires I suppose!

      Music is almost self-explanatory for this shot! I mean, they are meant to be together...

      Thank you so much, dear Izzy!

      Yeah, Krigersk down below here in the comments field showed me and lets just say the headless man doesn't look just as impressive without his horse...
