Fordh Sen Mighal

Sat 7th December 2024

A scenic coastal view at sunset shows the sun partially obscured by headlands on the left. The ocean waves roll toward the shore on the right. A trail signpost with directional arrows stands on a grassy hillside, leading the eye toward the shimmering water. A close-up view of a person's muddy foot and leg, wearing a running shoe and a sock with colorful designs, stepping into a waterlogged, muddy path surrounded by patches of green grass. The scene suggests a challenging outdoor activity in wet conditions. Two people in medieval costumes stand outdoors on a rocky landscape. The person on the left is in a brown dress with a white blouse and black hat, holding a wooden staff. The person on the right is in a black knight's outfit with a cross emblem, holding a sword. A scenic landscape featuring a vast green field with patches of brown foliage, leading to a distant coastline under a clear blue sky. The horizon separates the bright sea from the expansive land dotted with small structures and rolling hills. A scenic landscape view of a grassy hilltop under a clear blue sky with the sun shining brightly. In the distance, there are green fields, a body of water, and a faint outline of a mountainous area on the horizon. Rocks and bushes are scattered in the foreground. A stone church with a tall, square clock tower stands illuminated against a twilight sky. The church has a small annex, brightly lit, and is surrounded by several old gravestones. Two trees frame the right side of the scene. A serene sunset over a frosty graveyard, with sunlight peeking through sparse tree branches. The sky is painted with hues of orange and blue. Tombstones and statues are scattered across the ground, casting long shadows on the frost-covered grass.
