If you think this is

..a bit Lord of the Rings you'd be right.  With no time to do anything cultural today I had to take a sideways look at this week's MonoMonday challenge (subject, 'culture') and decided to try for a possible book illustration.  Doesn't this have a fantasy/fairy tale look?  I hope that counts.

Thanks so much to Ingeborg for hosting.

And thanks to all of you who continue to visit my journal, even though my comments are off for a few days.  You're lovely people  xx
