Description


The chief of the Osages, Okema, is said to have fallen in love with Winona, a Delaware. Winona had a lover, Minetus, to whom she had pledged her hand, and consequently rejected the proffered hand of Okema. The latter became enraged, and said that Minetus must die. Winona fled from Okema, who pursued her to the place now known as Lover's Leap, and there, to escape capture, she jumped from the precipice, and perished on the rocks below. Okema and his warriors, and Minetus and his comrades were there--a battle ensued--a tomahawk, hurled at the head of Okema, struck one of his warriors, and bore him over into the depths below. Minetus now grappled with Okema, and in the desperate struggle both rolled headlong over the precipice and likewise perished. I remembered this tale from school, and when I rendered this image the old story popped into my mind. Seemed like a good time to add four bloody corpses into a terragen render. Hehehee, yeah sick sense of humor, I know. Thanks for looking, have a nice day, and don't go chasing lovers off the cliffs! Cheers!

Good story and POV. Guess that red stuff down the cliff are just flowers!?!
The water invites me to jump down anyway and have a closer look

Thanks for the comment Haroon. The red stuff was really meant to be moss, but even turning it a bit grey/green made the terrain look wierd, so I changed the color to a reddish moss. :D
