The Spanish city of Ávila was fortified by these formidable walls in the 11th century after the Christians retook the city during the Reconquista. Lucky for us the wall stands just as pristine as it did when it was built since no battle ever ensued.
Maybe I shouldn't have eaten these shrooms, Olaf. I see a beardless warrior, wearing his plaided kilt on the chest.
Ain't she beautiful? I think I just fell in love!
Like you fell from that tree yesterday?
Nae, this is for real.
But she's pink!
For the better! If I'd wanted some viking girl I'd stayed home.

.640 cal. Archwell Magnum break-action revolver.
When compromising means the difference between a good and great revolver, our designers at Archwell Defense Industries ensure that no compromise ever taints our latest offering, the MR-6 Scylla.
~ Excerpt from a Archwell advertisement poster.
A powerful six-shooter with a hammer designed to facilitate fan-firing. This particular weapon has became a promotion gift for any GRAF soldier who achieved the rank of Warrant Officer, 2nd Class.
Built from a Colt Dragoon, the chamber holding the cartridges has been enlarged to facilitate the more powerful .640 cal. Archwell Magnum round designed for large-caliber handguns. Operation is as you expect from a single-action/double-action revolver - the user can either pull the trigger, or cock the hammer prior to firing, resulting in a lighter trigger pull.
The grip can be replaced with various third-party designs, including one with a built-in stock for sharpshooting.
Other features include a vented barrel jacket and rail system.
8.64x61mm modular marksman rifle.
Previously known as the SR-864, it's a massive leap of quality compared to its preset counterpart.
As to my knowledge, Archwell 8.64mm rounds trumps any existing full-size rifle cartridge used by NATO and Warsaw Pact countries in terms of power and penetration, so if you need to hit hard, this is your go-to choice.
Because this gun is firing a big round, you would expect big recoil, but thanks to this rifle's dual gas/spring recoil mitigation systems, your arm won't be dislocated after one magazine at the very least.
Along with this rifle, I'm also experimenting with PMG-made backgrounds. Let me know what you think of the back and the rifle.

Few warning signals in nature are as blatant as the colors of the Aquatic Coral Snake (Micrurus surinamensis), and for good reason: it possesses a highly potent neurotoxic venom. Unique among South American elapid snakes, its venom appears to be specialized for its favored prey of fish and eels, although can undoubtedly be fatal for mammals as well. They are, however, very non-aggressive and bite only when attacked or accidentally stepped on – the latter of which is rare thanks to their gaudy coloration. Yasuní National Park, Ecuador.
La Defense office complex is well integrated with the larger urban plan. Both its height and the entrances into the inner courtyards tie in with the larger site. The exterior façade reflects the larger urban condition, while the interior façades of the courtyards have been designed with the office tenants in mind. These façades are clad with glass panels in which a multi- colored foil is integrated and, depending on the time of day and the angle of incidence, a variety of different colours are reflected, animating the courtyards.

Paris (English /ˈpærɪs/, i/ˈpɛrɪs/; French: [paʁi] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in the north of the country, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Within its administrative limits (the 20 arrondissements), Paris has a population of about 2,230,000, and its metropolitan area is one of the largest population centres in Europe, with more than 12 million inhabitants.
An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris had become, by the 12th century, one of Europe's foremost centres of learning and the arts and was the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.
Paris and the Paris region account for a quarter of the gross domestic product of France and has one of the largest city GDPs in the world, with €572 billion in 2010. Considered as green and highly liveable, the city and its region are the world's leading tourism destination, hosting four UNESCO World Heritage Sites and many international organizations, including UNESCO and the European
