Nevelon Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures You really want to know? Mont Saint-Michel' date=' Normandy.[/quote'] heh, sorry, was making a joke I recognized it. It does look like someone took a nice little chunk of land and displaced it to another dimension. You have a lovely little rocky/green hill on an alien mud flat. Replace "castle" with "science lab" and you have the start of many campaigns right here.

death tribble Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Yep. Some day, I will go there! There are bays there that has ten meters tidal difference. In depth. Also, the pic is from Normandie, France, I'm fairly sure. There is also a Saint Michael in Cornwall, I think, with a similar set-up. Looks different, though. Edit: Like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]42788[/ATTACH] For many years I knew of St Michael's mount in Cornwall as we often passed it when travelling in Cornwall. I had heard that there was something similar in France. What I was not prepared for was the sheer size. Mont St Michel is huge. I got there in 2007 and let me tell you it is worth a visit. The place is amazing. Oh and L Marcus ? The Cornish are English whether they like it or not. And as they were my next door neighbours county wise I speak from authority. That and the fact that my grandfather was Cornish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Positronium FTW! ... you know that Positronium is unstable with a rather short expected lifetime, right? EDIT: I think I'm a bottom quark. Take up space, feel the strong force, negative charge. And I'm not up enough to be only down. Maybe strange, but bottom is probably more likely.

RPMiller Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures That looks modern. That was protecting a ford? I didn't think the Rhine had fords, but that surrounding land does look shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
