That's...actually magnificent. The train graveyard especially. And I agree with MhicWombat, and truly wonderful story setting. I'm going to nosy around the rest of the site.

Fantastic links.
I love the look of the Dragon's Blood Tree (their resin is one of the red pigments Victorians used in laquer)
And the Desert Rose is just plain wierd

Incredible! Such marvelous landscapes here on earth have to make you wonder what other planets may look like. Kind of reminded me of a Tim Burton set and also a bit of the moon world in Avatar. I will definitely be frequenting that sight from now on. Thanks for sharing |

Wow! Nice site! I've always wanted to set a story in the Kowloon Walled City. Fascinating history. I wish I knew more about it. |

"Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That all is not gold that glitters, and two and two make four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more."~Kipling; 1919

Socotra Island looks like it was designed by Roger Dean.

I say, Joe it's jolly frightening out here.
Nonsense dear boy, you should be more like me.
But look at you! You're shaking all over!
Shaking? You silly goose! I'm just doing the Watusi
