Three moose are grazing in a river with a hill in the distance.
Another with her calf by her side eats grass,

The sun is setting causing part of the castle to become fiery red.
The palm tree's shadow looks like a fluffy snowflake, on the castle wall.
The path to the castle is long, wild and dangerous.
The moat is very steep and deep.
There are big holes in the walls caused by fires.
Knights guard the castle waiting for invaders.
There are holes in the ground from cannon balls.
The spikes on the top of the roof look like tiny houses.
