Pictures of the Lande

The Lande: Photographed

         Congratulations on stumbling upon an exclusive, rarely seen glimpse of the Lande beyond the violet mist! This is a rare opportunity indeed, and I hope you savor it appropriately. I shall now take you all, my beloved blog readership, on a short phototour of a few places in the land that are declassified enough to show you. Or maybe they're just pictures I found on the internet that resemble the Lande. I can't tell you that. Just enjoy their beauty in awe.

To get to the Lande, you may come through a portal such as this one. Normally, portals are classified, but this was the spare portal from Pluto that spontaneously combusted a while ago and so no longer exists. 
 This is one of the major lakes of the Lande. Picture yourself in a rowboat in the early morn, rowing out to watch the mist at the boarders of the Lande spilling onto the lake's surface over the mountains as the sun rises. The air is cool and fresh, moist from the lake and the dancing mist in the distance. Gaze in awe at the violet mist and the peaks of the mountains over which it spills. Later you can go strolling through the forest, which you may glimpse at right in this image. Perhaps you have packed a picnic. But for now, just sit, floating on the still waters, and listening to the chirps of birds beginning to fill the air, and watch the mist.
Later, you may come to this beach by the Sea of the Lande. You may even get to see the starfall rains, as seen in this picture--the blue cloud descending towards the water at left. They happen every so oft. You can wade or swim or walk upon the soft sands, or head towards the mountain yonder, ahead and to the right.
 Further down the beach, you may see a sunset such as this, with the silken sands (one of the components in the sand of our Lande is literally that material called silk in your land) shining beneath the violet light as the sun sinks behind the boarder-mist.
 Here is one of the forests that grows alongside the lake at top in its full spring blooms.
 This is a meadow in the highlands along the mountains, also at sunset. Times of sunrise and sunset are when the violet color of the Lande is most apparent, because the sun is shining horizontally through the mist at these times, casting a violet light o'er all the Lande. It's a fine time to go hiking in a place such as this.
 To be clear, not everything in the Lande beyond the violet mist is actually violet or a tone or shade thereof. This is one of my favorite climbing trees at noonday.
 This is a hidden waterfall in the midst of one of the many forests of the Lande. It's a lovely hike to go and visit it.
 This is actually the view from my palace as Queen. (and the one picture in this blog post I didn't get off the internet.)


 I love the forests of our gorgeous Lande.
 We have many fine walking paths...

  
... as well as many hidden waterfalls
 
and ponds in the depths of our forests.
One of the chief products of our Lande's agriculture is, in keeping with our traditional color scheme, lavender. (We also grow plenty of violets, but these aren't as commercial) 
End your photo-visit to the Lande by gazing at another of our gorgeous mist-tinted sunsets.

Come and visit our Lande, if you are so fortunate as to be able to find and enter its mysteriousness!
