From the Shores of Cuiviénen by Oshun

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: The Dark Rider’s Horses and Other Creatures (Other Silmarillion-based locations) I want an Origins story -- characters optional--but I like to think of Beleg . . . Anything dated from the shores of Cuiviénen to the early days of the march across the mountains to the sea. . .
Format: photomanip
Genre: history
Rating: general
Warnings: no warnings apply
Characters: Círdan, and the earliest mariners among the Quendi.
Pairings: none (Círdan's love of the sea?}
Summary: I wrote the original prompt and bought it also, but decided to take my idea of Origins and apply it to Círdan's earliest days and claim to fame. Enjoy!

Source is screen cap from opening credits from season 3, Vikings, The History Channel, actually mostly my head and looked at a picture from the Viking Ship Museum; used a mouse and Gimp photo-editing program. T

Yay, swan boats that aren't burning! (Sad to say, I'm so used to seeing them on fire...)

Seriously, though, this is a really cute idea. Nice job!

Awww! Thanks, Zhie. I was inspired by watching the History Channel's Vikings series last night. I won't turn geeky on you and describe how I see elements of myth and history from that era and place in Tolkien's work. Let's stick with "cute idea" for now. Thanks again!

Feel free to go geek on me. In fact, feel free to stop by for Sunday brunch at my house, where that sort of talk is not only found, but encouraged. ;)

Yay! Set a place for me.
