Well, it took you long enough to enter, didn't it? I figgered a fella with a username like "CircCam" would have been entered long before now! ;)...
Sorry, these photos look OK when seen tiny on my phone, but horrible when seen full size on a monitor. Anyway, you've got a temple (?) here, with...

Wow. The whole hull of the ship is on the flan. I'm jealous. Want one of these, but haven't found the right one yet. That one would've...
