Golden Age Fantasy Illustration Style, Painterly Realism, Crystalline Underwater Photography Aesthetic. A stunning view looking straight down through impossibly clear, glassy ocean water, as if peering over the edge of a ship. Below, on the white sand seabed, are the seaweed-covered ruins of a sunken, ancient civilization.

The Merpeople: A royal hunting party of Narnian Merpeople is riding through the submerged streets. They are not gentle, fairy-tale creatures, but possess a wild, fierce majesty. They ride large, powerful, scaled hippocamps (mythical sea-horses).

Key Figures & Details: The Mer-King, with flowing white hair and a stern expression, wears armor crafted from iridescent pearl and abalone shells, brandishing a long spear tipped with gold. His powerful tail is deep amethyst. A fierce Mer-Queen rides beside him, her colors shimmering emerald and gold. Smaller merfolk follow, shaking spears.

Lighting & Atmosphere: Bright shafts of sunlight pierce the deep water, illuminating the underwater dust motes and making the scales of the merfolk and their mounts sparkle intensely. The mood is silent, ancient, and awe-inspiring.

Now, we’ll all have our time on the rapid
And we may end together, alone,
going ‘round and about in an eddy
bruised and broken and soaked to the bone.
But the eddy keeps silent the wild current’s call
alongside those now grateful captains and all
we are given reprieve from a death at the fall
as we move to and fro’ in the spin.
We stand safe, as the spin takes us in.
First century Palestine.  Jesus sits on a rock on a hillside teaching a large group of His disciples.  The Sermon on the Mount.  Jesus wears a plain robe like most ordinary men.  Jesus' face is kind, but intense, as He teaches. The other people are mostly peasants, farmers, and tradesmen.  There are also women present, wearing plain, everyday clothing.  Some couples have also brought their children.  The Sea of Galilee shines in the far distance.

So, you look at those captains and then at yourself
and you wonder: “Why them, and not me?”
As you paddle along in your pitiful state,
a canoe you hope no one will see.
But there’s just enough room for those trusted to you
for safe passage, provisions, and tare.
So, you keep to yourself, and you follow the shore,
making passage for those in your care.

The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite.  Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders.
And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon, high up on the left, forgot to go away.
