The Wellspring Camp

Close to the smaller entrance to the Wellspring lay a deserted camp. Plates sat upon tree stumps and a cauldron was suspended over an unlit fire. It made a pleasing scene and the subject for the last of my Gathering sketches for the year.

Entrance to the Wellspring

After spending late evening at the Bear Faction camp I awoke on Monday morning with a surprisingly clear head, it was ringing only to the memories of new songs. It would seem the "whisky in a bag" we were drinking was more forgiving than I would expect.

The entrance to the Wellspring stood before me and I settled down to draw. Just a few people passed  me as I worked and the only distraction I seemed to find was the smell of coffee & breakfast from near by.

Fountain at the Wellspring

After completing the sketch of the standing stones I moved into the ritual area. The fountain filled the room with the gentle sound of running water. Next to the fountain the wooden bridge lead the way to the ritual circle. As I drew members of the Viper Faction began to turn up and wait for their ritualists to arrive. They too seemed to appreciate the scene and were happy to chat with me as I finished my work.

The Stones at the Wellspring

Sunday morning brought bright sunshine to drive away the clouds. As most folk were having breakfast and getting ready for the day, I strolled up to the stones within the Wellspring area. In the peace and quiet I sat myself down in the shade and set about capturing the image of the stones.
