Holien Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi, After having my house put into CMAK for the Sealion Mod I realised that Mod Designers can make use of JPEGS of buildings to great effect. I am not sure if what I have is of any interest but I am sure you will ignore this if not. I have recently returned from Sicily and taken shots of various buildings including those that have seen better days. I was "lucky" enough to be take on a tour of a friends village that had been hit by an earth quake and left in that demolished state while they rebuilt the new village near by. I also have some shots of a deserted railway station and all the buildings are WWII vintage and untouched by modernisation. Finally I have some good shots of the rolling countryside which would help designers see how the land actually looks. I will try and post some shots this weekend and if anyone wants the full set I will give you details where to get them, or send them to you.

Holien Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hi, I will try and get them up on my web space on Saturday. If not it will be following weekend. As for where I went my friends family is based near Montevago and he took me to the following places. Eryx, Selinus -> Both are stunning and I want to spend a week or more back on the island seeing similar sites. Sciacca and a small coastal resort that I can not remember the name / find it on a map. A wonderful country to visit and so much history. Well worth a visit if you ever get a chance. For those in the UK we are lucky to have cheap flights at £80 return (or less) which makes long weekends a treat and very cheap. H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlis Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I lived in Siracusa (southeastern Sicily) for 3.5 months. Went for a visit, found a job as an Enlgish teacher and stuck around for a bit while my girlfriend (now wife) had an apartment there (she was doing research there). I did some hiking around the area, and there were little concrete bunkers everywhere (that's what they looked like anyway). They looked like domed-shaped concrete-fortified foxholes. I agree with a previous poster - wonderful place; I'd love to go back. Almost no tourist infrastrcuture, which is a little surprising given that there's so much to see. Siracusa, a town of over 100k, had less than half a dozen hotels, none of them large. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
