Well, they were once a part of the coastal defences in the area, sitting probably ~5 m over the sea, but through the years, the sea has been eating up the ground beneath them, causing them to tumble down on the beach, and in some cases even topple over.

Yeah, it gives off a bit of a post-apocalypic look. Being the ruin romantic that I am, I can't help but find an inherent beauty in them.
Hmm, speaking of post-apocalyptic, I should seek to incorporate something like this in the post-apocalyptic setting I'm sketching up in my head. Who knows, I might end up incorporating it in a game or roleplaying campaign...

I wonder how long that concrete can survive its exposure to brine and wind? I'd love to see that site in 100 more years.
Yeah, most of them were too far out into the see or had their entrances too high off the ground to permit entrance, but exploring them was quite a blast.
And the best preserved bunker of them all (in the two overview shots, it's the one with a large patch of grass on the top that mum is sitting next to) didn't look like it'd aged a day, while the most worn one was cracked open and crumbling to pieces (we have a few pictures of it, and it looks quite dramatic, but I had to limit myself at some point). The difference just makes it even more dramatic.
Also, Serps, your mountains makes me so envious. If you'd let me out among them, you'd never get me down again. Ever.

Bah! I know what you English call sunlight! It's frail and sickly in comparison!
By which I mean, the sunlight here is more likely to kill you than that spider.

Haha. I'm actually pretty stocky/body has a wide aspect ratio. And am on the short side (only about five and a half feet tall). I am like a Dwarven basketball player :smallbiggrin:

Fairly certain I've posted Murder Victim Gwyn before... this was for a film quite some months ago
Wrappin' myself in a red flag, supporting our team at a football game. We lost.
At a party. What you cannot see is the vigorous pelvic thrusts everyone but me was doing at that moment.

I can totally see the vigorous pelvic thrusts :I
Not of me, but my sister and her eldest son went to a Steampunk party this weekend, and I thought you'd all appreciate the results. Not bad, I reckon, for someone who didn't know what Steampunk was :smallsmile:
-
Re: You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread XXXI: Roman Numerals Make Everything Fancy
Dressing for steampunk pretty much consists of putting on a Victorian Era upperclass outfit, or Industrial Era working class outfit (but the pants must be baggy), and a pair of brown-framed dark-lensed goggles.

Do... do you want to? There... may just be a forum implosion if you do.
So while you were all gone, my mum got me to try on a dress of hers and I tried (and failed) to get a pin-up shot. Also that same mother bought me an awesome new dress.
Camera-whoring ahoy!
(note: I just remembered that these photos were huge, and have shrunk them down. It may take some time for the shrinkage to go through, though, so you might want to wait a while)

Nize Kitty. :smallbiggrin: I have a cat like that. She is known as the cat which does not give a single [expletive deleted] for she is preternaturally calm and friendly, putting up with all sorts of handling that most cats just would not stand for.

I could post one without the bra, if you really want.
I'm not going to post a picture of me without a bra. Not this month, anyway.
