Pics of places that look like places from the films, or are just nice.

I think Norc thats a result of a mixture of the time of year- lot of browns appearing- and the island sitting in the Gulf Stream. Gives a non northern appearence.

yes, and the mountains look very bleak, almost sunburnt.

A few pics garnered from the BBC Scotland webpage sent in by folks.

The Borders



Isle of Skye

Couple of pics taken by friends of mine today- the first was on the way home from the isle of Bute and the second is pretty much what they have instead of a front garden.

*still jealous of your Scottish landscape*

*and Norway's*

that's the spirit, Eldo

*I am such a patriot..*

And quite right too Norc!
Although to be honest if you and I swapped pictures and posted them no one would notice I reckon, the two countries are so alike in many ways.

yes, in many ways, but also in many ways not so alike ^^

Yours is colder and pointyer! (And the buckie is not quite as good)

how would you know?

No ones elses buckie is quite as good simple.

oh, well, then you're wrong of course.

What you are saying Fjordians have better buckie than Scots hobbits?!!!

Thats fighting talk that is!!

Heres our latest buckie related offering to the world, match this then!

A controversial Scottish brewery has said it has reclaimed the title of the world's strongest beer from German rivals - with Sink the Bismarck at 41%.- BBC NEWS

well... well.. we have the most northern placed brewery in the world!!!

((that is btw the number one argument for everything here, I am not joking. I saw a cabin company (renting out cabins) called arctic polar. Also I saw a car drive around promoting arctic plumming. it's embarrasing how much we use the polar/arctic in everything.))

Its not where you make it- its what you make!

Artic plumbing- sounds painful.

I know ;D

yep.. very painful..

compared to danish or whatever beer... our beer tastes like:

My latest effort

The Lonely Mountain (ish)

I like the withered heathish tree.

I don't know if you can put some structure in the lower parts? It's got arms jutting out and stuff. I'd also pull the frame back a bit to emphasize that it's lonely.

I did say ish.
The arms are out of sight below the mid ground cliff! (behind the fog/steam cloud)

I might try pulling the frame back out but that took 7 hours to render so Im not in a huge rush!

Wow, 7 hours! I didn't realize it was a fully constructed picture: that's pretty amazing.
