If there are less than 5 entries I'm going to have somebodies head.
This theme is more open. It could be anything related to a mirror theme. It could be a parallel universe, a reflection, or even just a mirror.

I recall nigh clearly as the lake's water was that mid-spring day. The fog was light over the lake's water. But not thick to the extent to prevent visibility of the water. I walked over to the lake's edge. I looked down, and I saw myself. It felt almost as if I were looking at myself clearer than ever before. I looked up and viewed the scene. I saw birds flying over that lake. I saw them perfectly in it as well. They were flying upside down. The mountains delivered a perfect rendition as the ones that towered above the lake. Even the fog can be seen in the water. Seemingly equal in realism on both sides. I looked down once more. All in contemplation. I wondered what the man in the water was thinking as he stared back at me.

I made a very simple yet effective terrain for this. But I did it last week. Is it OK I update it a bit and post it?

I saw no rules against old pictures.

WORK IN PROGRESS

The pool at the bottom is a scrying mirror used for intelligence gathering. Not quite sure what I'm going to do about the landscape quite yet so I'm going to let it sit for a few days :)

EDIT: Forgot about the torches, they should be gone in the next update! Mainly for getting the lighting down at the moment.

Heh here is my edit. A 15min terrain with 2doodads only. Also if someone complains about it not looking real on picture all I can say, stillness doesn't do justice to it.

Try the map I'm attaching to see how it looks in game (just look through the camera).

EDIT: There is a chance I'll edit the previous map/picture so this is possibly a WIP.

Very cool entries, the three of you. I'll finish mine up this evening hopefully.

Im still trying to think of something for mine. . . .

I'll find something eventually.

I wish you luck on finding an idea Sabertooth.
Here's mine, I did it in the past few minutes since my last post. Quick and easy, nothing special.

Mc !
That's great Ghenjis, the reflection of the moon looks more like an isle though

I'll post as soon as I get time to do something xD

Aye, the moon is bulky, but the rest is great. How you did the actual reflection effect confuses me, though.

Ghenjis, the tree on the right has an unrealistic reflection. It wouldn't reflect to the left like that, but rather further out to the lake. Just because the moon is overhead, it isn't close enough for it to diverge its light like that.

If you fix that, it'll be an even sweeter entry. It's the only one so far that resembles an actual reflection (Or what I would have envisioned entries being like, anyways).
