Wow, what an amazing sight in front of the monastery. Especially on a sunset. You can see Whiterun, Riverwood, Bleak Falls Barrow, Valtheim Towers, Windhelm, Lake Illinata, Nightcaller Temple. You can see the outlines of Solitude, Deep Folk Crossing, Labyrinthian and Eldersblood Peak.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy playing Skyrim.
