A sample of my amateur work. This is 13 mile prairie corridor trail near my home. Barren trees against a November sunset.

I'm trying to find a #conscript i ran across some time in the past, that tried to reconcile the latin and cyrillic scripts, to present a single one that can be read by those familiar with either fairly easily. i think the premise was for a sci-fi setting of a planet colonized by english and russian speaking settlers or something. any leads anyone?
