Skingrad. Foul weather one day... cloudy the next.

Greetings, fellow travelers.

Today's foul weather in Skingrad gives me an opportunity to catch up with you. The constant rain and fog in the late afternoon makes it difficult to show you any cheery tourist snaps. Rest assured when the weather clears I'll be able to show you just how beautiful this city and the surrounding countryside is.

The rain eventually stopped and allowed me to take a few pics. It was a bit cloudy but good weather to see a little of the countryside.

A better shot of Skingrad Castle and the Great Chapel.
You can just see the walls of Kvatch in the distance.
Part of the merchant quarter of Skingrad.
Love those old stone buildings.
The Great Chapel of Julianos.
Look at that old stonework!
And a guard talking to a citizen in the distance.
An amazing variety of plants are found around Skingrad.
The colours are even brighter on clear sunny days.
