Description


And now for something completely different: 'Ghost of Times Past - the Return' The inspiration for this image came from an image I viewed over at Share CG, that of a scantily clad red haired young female with� Celtic� inscribed battle-scythe draped over her shoulder, entitled 'The Watcher' by Monsterfex.com looking over a fjord - a beautiful memorable image, but what was she looking for? Sorry no scantily clad maiden, just a thought of what it may have been. I must firstly thank 'jedswindells' for the use of his Viking Longboat (a freebie here at Rendo) which I've reworked a bit and supplemented, the sail isn't down because they are under oars, the immediate foreground is snow covered land. The background image is of Clare Island as viewed from Clew Bay on the Atlantic West Coast of Ireland just outside Westport, The Home of the notorious Warrior/Pirate Queen Gráinne Ní Mháille / Grace O'Malley (also reputed to have had Red Hair) who fought the English/Queen Elzabeth I and blockaded the Harbour at Galway in the 16th Century, for anyone that's interested. The original image was taken on a fine Summers Day in Aug 98 and post worked in Photoshop as usual, to add some atmosphere. PS. Welcome back Mr 'C' we all have roots - no hard feelings!
