Now Aganzir is officially half-dwarf, half-leopard. Seriously, I like the pic.

Alatar - that pic is quite aww-y.

Volo, your expression right at the moment could be interpreted as "high-class" one (although you were probably just smiling, were you?) - "Yes, I can tell you that Cornfoot's bank has just signed the contract with us. - Jean, please take care of the car, okay?"
Thank you. And that comment about Volo made me laugh - if you ask me, he's just having an uncharacteristic silly smile...

Speaking of smiles, I just realised I'm having my trademark smile in that picture: the corners of my mouth are actually going downwards, not upwards, like with normal people when they smile. And the funniest thing is that Volo seems to have adopted the expression too...

Ah, so at last!!! At last you will reveal yourself to the Jedi, at last you will have revenge? Agan, you actually look very "in-environment appropriate", like from some Nordic tale - also it looks like you are going to transform into a raven in the next moment and fly away. But actually now that I see you clearly, I was right - you LOOK like Nienor!

That's a great dress, Lommy! It looks totally black on my screen, though, so I didn't think you'd be getting married.

Volo looks awfully smug.

Doesn't she? Positively eerie.

Ah, so that's you being attacked by the troll. I've been wondering who it was.

Yes and it was in the freaking entrance to my own barrow! A most traumatic experience I can asure you.

I see that some people have changed their photos since I last looked carefully (which is a long time ago) most notable was Fea, who always have great photos up there and Oddwens was a bit suprising. . . and am I wrong if I say that Lhuna has changed hers as well? (I know that more of you have changed photos)

Oh and Aganzir, it is lovely to see that the downs has its own personal tree-hugger.

I'm not sure how much I actually look like that (I never look like myself in pictures) or if it's even a good picture of me, but this is what happens when one lets her friends choose the pic...

I'm thinking of creating a thread titled "Pictures of the Downs" in which people would be able to post pictures of places that in their opinion look like the Downs and tell something about them. Does anyone remember if there's any similar thread around already?

Not that I know of.

I just noticed Aganzir's new picture and I must say that she looks a lot younger and prettier in this one. She looked kind of old and cranky when she was playing Lobelia (no offense intended)!

Do you mean pictures of places that remind one of this internet forum or of the Barrow Downs? You might want to check out this thread if it's the later.

Indeed, I always do that in photos and that is probably the only one I've seen this far in which it does not look disastrous... but I think it's just the thing that makes the pic funny...
