This day, though, I hiked another autumn wood. Eastern Europe ancient; overgrown. So thick the view was dark at just a few feet off the path. All red and yellow; orange and brown, a million trees, each one in blazing preparation for long, frozen winter. I cannot but recall my friend’s words, lasting long, though he did not, and the instant truth that follows. Looking upward at the fiery canopy, matched against the bright cerulean sky beyond, I embrace autumn! Winter surely comes one day, but spring beyond. I have a winter to prepare for, but it is not yet.

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 Mermen and Mermaids are riding through the submerged streets. They are not gentle, fairy-tale creatures, but possess a wild, fierce majesty. They ride side saddle tails aside their 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.
