    Always wonderful to see a set from you - "Randoms" or otherwise.  I agree with NeoNord, though, that every picture is its own story.  But, these are more than just pictures, I think.  They are images from the eye and mind of a photographer, an image maker - not merely some "vacation snapshots".   And each image that tells its own little story lets us see a small part of a larger story - that of Kassandra, who wanders the land much like the planets wandered in the skies (to the eyes of Ancient Greek astronomers/astrologers). 
    Maybe it's just me, but after viewing these images, I am very thirsty.     Every place on land is bright and hot and dry and almost dusty.  Even the sea pictures make me thirsty -  I can practically feel the salt crusting on the ships and in the beards of the sailors.  The night scenes and some shadows offer a bit of temporary relief but the whole series gives me the idea of wandering the land and sea, braving the heat and dryness, all the while searching for . . . something.  What she's seeking is a mystery left for the viewer to ponder.

      Dear hammersmcp, thank you so much for this wonderful comment. There is too much praise  about my abilities as photographer, but of course I feel honoured . You know, it is just a relaxing hobby for me, to take some pics with my camera
      You are so right ...the region of Greek and the coloration are working well together to implicate the thirsty  feeling ... it reminds me a bit to the fantastic Dustbowl Overhaul in FO4. 
      I think, you nailed my intention when I play this game ... wandering while searching for ... something ...

    Du bist ein so aussergewöhnliches Talent (ein besonderes Auge für die Scene,daß man das Gefühl hat hat mittendrin zu sein,als nur dabei) Ich habe schon viele technisch versierte Screenshoter gesehen aber nur selten welche ,die mich gut unterhalten.Hoffe bald wieder was von Dir zu sehen.Ich hoffe es geht Dir gut....
    Bis neulich .

      Deine Worte sind echt schmeichelhaft und lassen mich erröten ... zu viel des Lobes ...
      Trotzdem freut es mich, dass Dir meine Art, die Dinge zu betrachten, zusagt

      Mir geht es nach dem Tod meines Mannes nicht sonderlich gut, doch ich versuche, mich senkrecht zu halten.

      Deine Bilder samt Musik bringen immer etwas Abwechsung

      Das tut mir unendlich leid.Schlimm,daß ich mal wieder als Letzter davon erfahre...meine Schuld;war in den letzten Monaten nicht so richtig dabei...hatte natürlich eine Ahnung,daß was nicht stimmt..um so schlimmer.
      Wenn Dir meine 'Arbeiten ' etwas Freude bringen können,habe ich einnen guten Grund weiter zu machen. Gitarre und Piano machen mir im Moment nicht so richtig Spaß..

      Dein manchmal etwas unsensibler Holzklotz

      Macht nichts. Ich bin hier auch nicht auf dem Laufenden, mache immer nur mal eine Stippvisite ... bin etwas inspirationslos, doch versuche, alte Gewohnheiten wieder zu beleben ....

    Liebe darling Heike.
    I remember few years ago you travelled in Greece, and every time I look at one of those sets of yours, I can sense how much you love this place (...minus the skeletons of course ). I have tried AC Origins (in Egypt) last year, I was so amazed by the beauty of it, sadly the experience was not very good, story wise, which simply removed any inspiration I could have in it, but I heard better reviews for Odyssey.
    It's good to see your inspiration again.

    4th image from last, house with some classic Cyrillic Greek written on it, I think it says: "Hot jacuzzi and WiFi available!"
    ...not sure, I may be wrong

    Take care Heike

      Hello Luc,
      it is so wonderful to get a life sign from you and it is good, that you are still around.
      I like AC Odyssey very much and when I have finished it, I want to start with Origins or Valhalla. I like both themes and I am tensed for both.
      The winter will be long and I‘m looking forward for inspirations ... time will show

      Take care for yourself too

    It is a joy to see you here again, dear Heike . It's not Skyrim or Fallout, but your very personal style is immediately recognized in this wonderful set.

      Dear Hugo, it is so nice to meet you again here and it‘s good to know you are still around.
      That you can see my personal style in those pics, is  amazing. I hadn‘t thought this, because the game for itself is simply enchanting. Thank you

    Hello! Miss you and your Skyrim stories, but I am so happy to see you post, even if I don't know this game at all. But I can say this - these images look so real - Blackmaid magic in action, that's for sure! Several of them make me wonder if you slipped in some photographs from real life, they are that amazing. I am very happy you are having some fun in a game somewhere, and wishing you happiness both there and in real life. With a few prayers thrown in, just in case my wishes aren't enough. Take care, my friend - and I hope to see more from you soon, as you have time and energy to share your magic with us.

      Thank you so much for your friendly words and wishes. I think, that this season is perfect to continue with my hobby of gaming and screenshooting .... AC Odyssey is like travelling around in ancient Greek world and I feel like a tourist. The graphic is wonderful and  so you see this game through my touristic photographic eye
      I hope to find a bit inspiration for new stories in Skyrim or Fallout too.
      I have planned to be more around in future and to visit the galleries of my friends again

    Oh My Friend,  no story? I see 36 images and each has a tale to tell. You wrong your artistry and your Muse.  The butterfly cannot see her wings  and so, knows not how beautiful they are. The rest of the world  does though.  So many tales and stories for us to see. What city do we see on yonder hill ? will it have friends or foes? Why walks this one alone ?  Going to or running from ? What light through yonder window breaks? Where is that ship bound where was it from ? Why jumps that dolphin, from fear, from play or simply because it can ?  hat hast those sad eyes seen perhaps the tragedy that destroyed the town and whose blood is on that axe and whither does that lonely sailor go ? We do not know but we know therein lies a tale as is so  with each and every  image that we see. You have done all this and given us the freedom to create our stories to lie in concert and sweet harmony with what we see. Tis a magical gift you have brought us ; so, Let the Magic Begin !

      Thank you  so much for this poetic description of what we can see, whenwe let fly our fantasy while watching those  pics.
      Of course, it is  always  magical to start a story while watching a picture. 
      This is a wonderful reward for sharing my pics of this wonderful ancient world ... she is full of myths

      Yes, I was there a long time ago (this lifetime but a long time ago   ) It is a magical place. Knossos was amazing but much of Greece was amazing too. I knew very little about Minoan civilization when I was there but was very fortunate to visit a then "new" dig  at the East end of Crete ( I believe named Katos Zakros) and talked with a woman writing a book and learned a great deal. It is magical to learn about something while you can touch it, experience it and the world around it. I remember a squall blew in one night and in the morning we helped the fishermen  retrieve their boats that broken loose from their moorings and they took us to the local bar/restaurant (there was only one then)  and we ate nd drank most of the rest of the day away with them.  I remember their faces but alas their names I do not. No doubt most have passed away by now for that was in 72.I was young but they were not  and I am no longer young either but those memories are a wonder to me and you have reminded me of them once again. Thank You.

      You described your memories so wonderful with a touch of the magic of reality. I think, such moments are this what the life  so wonderful ... you found so fantastic  words, that I can paint a picture of this tale in my mind.
      Do you ever tried to write stories ?
      Thank you so much for sharing your personal experiences with us. It is wonderful to know, that my pics were inspiration to remember

      Time heals wounds and I try to go on and to find an inner balance. 
      Gaming is always fun and a good distraction. I hope, to find some inspiration to do more than simple photos  of a virtual vacation to ancient greek
