Hello my friends.

Hun, I love myths, and Avalon with Excalibur and King Arthur is one of i loved.
This is my version about the Avalon and not an exact form of the Mythologic Island.

"Avalon (probably from the Celtic word abal: apple; see Etymology below) is a legendary island somewhere in the British Isles, famous for its beautiful apples. The concept of such an "Isle of the Blessed" has parallels in other Indo-European mythology, in particular Tír na nÓg and the Greek Hesperides, the latter also noted for its apples. (...)

It is also said to be the place where the body of King Arthur is buried. He was supposedly brought there via boat by his half sister, Morgan le Fay. According to some legends Arthur merely sleeps there, to awaken at some future time."

I hope that you like. It's not perfect, I know. In fact I was trying to do another image, but the model and other details didn't fit with the background, as I love the back, I decided show it alone.
