novice is shorter than I expected.

To keep with the Civ theme, a photo from a holiday I took a couple of years ago: something else to build with all that stone ...




Before I'd been to Egypt I knew the pyramids were big (obviously), but the sheer scale of them isn't really apparent till you're up close:

A lovely smile, pling

I guess you didn't go to Egypt during tourist season like these happy tourists in China

[Ichabod]

Also keeping with the Civ theme, albeit in a not so ancient, nor so glorious way:

Here's me starting to climb my way to see the Cristo Redentor up close:



And here's me by the Cristo Redentor eating a popsicle:

You people are kids...I feel so old! I already knew what pling looked like although I can't recall from where, but my first reaction was "geeky game playing girls aren't supposed to be cute" . Ichabod, if you come to Rio while I am there for the World Cup I'll buy you a beer or four.

We recently had a fencing tournament at work as a teambuilding exercise. (I won, naturally.)

That's a Heroic Epic, of course. So far we have:

Novice - Heroic Epic
Ichabod - Christo Redentor
T-Hawk - Stonehenge
Pling - Pyramids
...and I know Regoarrar has a picture of himself holding the Hollywood sign in his hand.

NobleHelium, will you claim the Statue of Liberty?

[darrelljs]

How I missed the theme I'll never know . I have a picture at the Taj Mahal somewhere...

I've got no pictures that are halfway related to Civ wonders, and none of my serious pictures turn out good, so here's one from a thrift-store-clothes dance where I look like an idiot, with the wife I haven't managed to scare off yet.

Please note that this picture has been reduced to 67% of it's original size.

[SevenSpirits]

I guess I'll claim National Park.



I'm the one on the right.
