Thank you for taking us all on a personal tour @shaka,
You related your experience to "The Middle Earth" and I totally see that point but I have recently been totally addicted to "Game of Thrones" and see the scenery as "North of the Wall"...
And the Tower in the town of "Winterfell" :)
A pleasure @zest !
I also can't wait for the release of the final season of "GoT" :) Still, to me the appeal of Tolkien's world remains unrivaled and I guess that's why Mt Doom came to my mind first.
Cheers!
