"* At the dark waters´ shore" by Anca-Raluca "Nekorrim" Sandu

Photo Manipulation. (yes, original photo taken by me in a vacantion at a mountain lake... I presume it was the mountain lake I'm thinking of... and then I played a little with it)

The artistic terror arrived at its favorite inspiration place - the dark waters of its native place, in the rainy fields. There, it could even start meditating about the next story it would write and sing. The rain would soon come falling for days, but the dark waters would remain the same calm place... Why were they even called the dark waters? They were very normal waters from a very normal sea! It was not their fault that the place was cloudy almost all day long... or that black trees grew around... But fact was... nobody depicted them otherwise. Some other time, the terror artist would paint them very happy. Like sunrise... or clear imperial skies. They were rather calm and velvety and shadows danced happily in their image. And the meditating subject was set: at the dark waters, that weren't so dark at all...

Another nice photo manipulation. Now, the straightened story behind this one: the mouth that can be seen from a side is actually the mouth of the so called "terror artist" - a terror imaginary creature (equine-like) that happened to be an artist - ha! Arrived at the "Dark waters" that were dark usually because of the heavy grey clouds that were every time ready to rain in the rainy fields... duh. The shore was not bordered by sand, but by rain-addapted vegetation and mostly, black roses that could spark a little white in the gentle - but little - light of the place. This picture is from a series that involved sudden appearences of the orange terror artist in some very diverse imaginar landscapes, either in full body or just a part of it (like this case). In another one, only its front legs (hooves) can be seen near a deep hole.
