Bit obscure, but here’s some Silmarillion art. Been reading it again and the image of Oromë has really stayed with me.

“And Oromë tamer of beasts would ride too at whiles at the darkness of the forests… and his white horse Nahar shone like silver in the shadows. … But even as Oromë passed the servants of Melkor would gather again; and the lands were filled with shadows and deceit.” 

– J.R.R. Tolkein, The Silmarillion

8th Century CE Rock Cut Graves and St. Patrick’s Chapel, Heysham, Lancashire, 6.8.18.

This rocky headland possesses distinctive rock cut graves and the ruins of an 8th century chapel that was extended in the 10th century. A hogback stone in the nearby church suggests this was a site visited by Vikings or at least influenced by them.
