In the Storm

2/24/2026

It started to snow.  Narin and Adrian had gone ahead to set up camp. "We need to get to the camp up beyond that ridge."
Picture
The snow became ever deeper as they made their way through the forest....
Picture
"I hope it doesn't get any worse."
Picture
Picture
But as they left the relative shelter of the trees, the wind and snow really picked up.....
Picture
Yet, on they went...
Picture
"I hope the camp isn't too much farther."

Stunning photos. Did I miss something? They were traveling with horses. Where are the horses? I love animals and always notice them.

The servants have the horses, and they went on ahead. Or at least according to the story weaving old photos from 2012 (which had just these three characters) together with the newer ones taken in 2024 that included servants, horses, and tents, and all manner of props.

I can feel the cold. I can see the snow swirling around them. I can see the determination in their faces. They will make it.

It was interesting driving up the Icefields Parkway in a June blizzard, and it was snowing quite hard. Sometimes I'll add 'snow streaks' in Photoshop afterwards, but it's all completely real in these photos.

I really like the feeling conveyed by the second-to-last photo; you can feel her anxiety, as if we were there too in the snow with them, on this so long way.

They've faced many challenges on their quest so far, but the weather may be their greatest yet. Your photos convey the cold and their concern with reaching the relative safety of the camp.

Aeran will have earned the right to take her place as queen in her grandfather's kingdom. Her quest has brought her the jewel she had to recover, and has proved her strength and character to govern wisely.

I'm looking forward to seeing her welcome when she returns!
