Admin Post: September 2020 Challenge: A Naturalist's Guide to Middle-earth

[dawn_felagund]

In spite of the focus of the narrative, Middle-earth isn’t all warfare, secret realms, and ambitious craftsmanship. There are scholars and explorers too - and a whole world to explore! This month’s challenge invites you to sneak a peek into these explorers’ notebooks for inspiration.

Prompts are images from historical naturalist publication - waiting for you to imagine how they may fit into Middle-earth (or Valinor, or Númenor, or…). You don’t have to write about naturalists, explorers or research expeditions unless you want to - just go wherever the prompt takes you. You can select the prompt or prompts that most inspire you from the collection below.
