You can say that again. With all the learning that goes into being able to safely ride a horse the idea that hopping aboard a creature who calls the sky its home requires nothing in the way of certification or training is rather bracing. Add in the freezing temperatures of the season and the winds that come with travelling that speed and I feel safe in saying that it's an undertaking best enjoyed in the Spring and Summer months.

This place is more my style than most of the places I've seen since coming in here despite, both for it's more-familiar means of construction and the stepped layout. There's been a marked lack of anything built in stone since coming here, and that's quite troubling to see. Concrete and wood can only take you so far before you need a good solid bedrock, so it's nice to see the familiar forms of stone foundations and stone ramparts again.
