queensthiefHello, Sounis!
I've been a lurker for a while now, even before KoA was published. I've been captivated with the Queen's Thief series since I had to read The Thief for Battle of the Books in middle school. That was 8 years ago, and I'm just as interested as ever in Megan Whalen Turner and posts on Sounis, especially fanfiction. However, I wanted to introduce myself because I have some interesting photos to share (and because checkers encouraged introductions).
Last summer, I traveled extensively in Greece while studying archaeology. I found myself constantly looking at the landscape for Gen's sea of olives. I finally found the perfect example at Delphi, where olive trees are so dense they look like a river. The sanctuary ruins at Delphi also look like what I imagine Eddis to be like in the mountains.
My vision of the "sea of olives" that Gen runs through.
The sanctuary of Athena at Delphi.
(I hope this works...I only made an LJ account to deal with Sounis, so it's new to me.)
