A shot from Alix, Senator, tome eight.

Usually we only see ruddy, front-facing shots taken by day, but this was the first time I saw an upper-3/4 view by night.
I was expecting something like this:

Of course I’ve said this a million times before, but a big part of my enjoyment of BD is not just the enjoyment of the quality (generally realistic) stories, but also the quality, intriguing art. When everything is firing on all cylinders, that is. 😅 (and sometimes it is definitely not)
Al-Khazneh (“The Treasury”) is of course, one of the world’s great… treasures of history and architecture, located in the ancient city of Petra, in southern Jordan.

And… of course, now I see this night-time shot. Just amazing.

This is some stunning artwork. At first glance i thought it was a photograph.
Glad you enjoyed. Makes me feel good…
Thierry Démarez is just a plain, badass artist:

It’s beautiful. It almost feels like I’m there, watching from above.
