Whenever the clan lookout spotted the 'fiery cross' of oul' mither Sun, lifted over the hazy trees of Loch Fearraidh, the clan militia would be called out in measured response. In such favourable weather conditions, raidings parties were regularly to be expected from the Norrean Pirates, hidden for most of the year in one or other of the abandoned Formost Isles, situated leagues to the west. Valuables, oldsters, women and children would be swiftly escorted to safe hideaways. Forest runners were sent off to the High Baron and clan Lairds, while all the neighbouring sealochs were alerted by sailboat, by young sailor apprentices. Rarely was a raid not prepared for by the hardy 'Grey Feathered' Clan. Norrie's Tales of Old Dalriada, Glen Press. Quickly assembled, and then experimented within VUE 6 Infinite. Swampwater MAT from St Joes' Creek item in Cornucopia3D was applied to the ground, rather than a more transparent water level. The chaotic lochside forest ecosystem from same source. Atmosphere started as one of Chipp Walters' from his TERRAMATS collection, but was heavily modified. My apologies to Chipp...;o) It is not one of my usual soft atmospheres, but I felt that it had a story behind it. It did. Thank you all, for viewing and for your comments, John.
