![]() ![]() Combine that with bad weather, and that is where I go to snap the pictures. Typically, I look for spots where can bring out more emotion in the settings or that can be easily recognizable to people. For those who are into the behind the scenes action, I also post pictures on my Twitter account while out capturing images. During the winter months, I often post photographs of our amazing (I love them) winters on my Facebook fanpage and I also do a bit of work with the Canadian Press. Our winters can be really cold and nasty. The differences he found were dramatic (and captured in the before-and-after photos above), so spoke with him about his work: 1) I love the photos you took this past winter on Prince Edward Island – especially the dog! How do you look for/find the scenes you're hoping to capture? " Where the North has its honor and the south its chivalry, the Iron Islands has its strength.That inspired photographer John Morris, 32, to capture photos around his hometown of Prince Edward Island, which normally sees just over 100 inches of snowfall in February but saw nearly 200 inches during the month this year.Įarlier this month, Morris went to many of the same spots he photographed during the winter to see how the summer recovery had gone. Map showing the location of the Iron Islands off the west coast of Westeros. ![]() The Iron Islands is one of the nine constituent regions of Westeros. They are a cluster of seven small, rocky islands off the western coast of the continent, in Ironman's Bay. The Iron Islands are ruled from the castle of Pyke by House Greyjoy. The islands are the smallest and one of the least-populous regions of Westeros, but the naval skills of their people, the ironborn, are unmatched and they enjoy great mobility due to their ships. The ironborn also have a unique culture and religion, centered on maritime raiding and pillaging other peoples, that sets them apart from mainland Westeros. However, they were forced to stop these practices following the War of Conquest, or at least to stop raiding around Westeros itself. Although this edict was not always effectively enforced by the Iron Throne, Daenerys Targaryen reinstated it as a condition of the Iron Islands regaining independent rule nearly 300 years later. Prior to the War of Conquest, the Iron Islands were a sovereign kingdom, along with the other " Seven Kingdoms" of Westeros. For the three generations immediately preceding the Conquest, the ironborn also controlled the Riverlands, which they had in turn conquered from the Stormlands.īastards born in the Iron Islands are given the surname Pyke. The Iron Islands are located off the western coast of Westeros, in Ironman's Bay (an inlet of the Sunset Sea). ![]() They are north of the Westerlands, west of the Riverlands, and southwest of the Neck and the North. However, the entire western coast of the continent, from the Wall in the North to the Arbor in the extreme south of the Reach, are considered to be within range of far-reaching ironborn coastal raids. Centuries before the War of Conquest, the Iron Islands did indeed rule much of the coast from the Arbor to Bear Island in the North, and at the time of the War of Conquest, they ruled the Riverlands. The Iron Islands are small and rocky, swept by fierce storm winds, with poor soil and hardly any natural resources. ![]()
