Description Too sick to actually paint, so I broke out Photoshop and did a bit of manipulation of [link] by and [link] by

Thanks guys for the stock

Inspired by this short piece from The Return of the King by JRR Tolkien (III, The Grey Havens, pg. 375):

"Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun."

"West of the Moon, East of the Sun"

Taken in context from the book, I think it's supposed to refer to Valinor.
