Most beautiful island in Summerset?

Which island of the Summerset Isles do you prefer in terms of natural beauty and ambient music? Music plays a big role imo. Which one do you choose for mat farming? I like sitting on the beaches of Auridon to test my new skills or sets, while listening to the beautiful music. However, I also enjoy crafting and mat farming in Summerset. Not great incentive to revisit Eyevea or Artaeum, but they're really beautiful too. Images below.

    The Artaeum is also really gorgeous but the unchanging sky gets boring after a while.

    Auridon and Eyevea are certainly beautiful. The architecture doesn't compare to that of the newer zones though.

    Alinor's main island is just very varied with meadows, cities and beaches. Artaeum comes in second, but it lacks terrain and beautiful cities. Auridon and Eyevea use the old style and look noticeably more muddy, dirty, used and unsophisticated.

    Auridon
    Auridon is my fave zone in the entire game. Music, atmosphere, beaches, peaceful foresty feeling. Very subjective of course but I find it perfect in every way.

    That's why I like Auridon. It's not so flashy.

    Auridon
    If we see it strictly, then also Errinorne (where the Veiled Heritance training grounds are located) and Buraniim (behind Mathiisen, Fighters Guild quest) are missing. But as they are close to Auridon and it looks exactly the same there...

    And near Summerset: Wasten Coridale, and the Sapiarchs' College is also on an island.

    Summerset Isle
    When I went back to Summerset for the event, I was sort of blown away by how beautiful parts of it look-- not for the natural beauty, but rather the way that you can see large Altmer buildings off in the distance, such as on the other side of a bay, or on an offshore island. I think the reason it struck me so hard, even though I had been to Summerset before, is because a lot of people have criticized Summerset for failing to depict the Altmer buildings and cities as they'd imagined them, I suppose as described in some in-game book and seen with their mind's eye. I found it to be quite striking.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!
