In this feature, the community could submit for review and possible selection to be included a picture taken by the submitter or at least with the photographer's permission, that includes a vision they hold most true for meaning of geography, character or philosophy that is Gorean to them. It may also be one that when taken, they felt so overwhelmed that the two planets did become one for them on Earth.

This month The Gorean Voice sneaked back into the photography lab of Georg, and while there grabbed enough to make sure you are entertained with his wonderful photography. "Picture This" is in Trelleborg, Denmark area and courtesy of Georg.

Trelleborg is a fortress, erected in Denmark in 981 A.D. according to a dendrochrolological dating, one of at least four very similar fortresses erected that year. The King at that time was Harald Bluetooth, and they are believed to have been his strongholds in his efforts to keep the country under his control. The name Trelleborg means Thrall Fortress. It is not known why it is called so, however. Speculations are that it was either constructed by the use of numerous thralls or that it was partly used as a marketplace or a station used during transportation of thralls. Maybe the name originates from some earlier use of the place. By the way King Harald Bluetooth's son was King Svein Forkbeard, who conquered parts of England, maybe after having equipped his ships from one or more of these four fortresses of his father's (and after he had murdered him).

This view shows Trelleborg from the outside. It consists of an exactly circular earthen rampart of an internal diameter of 460 Roman feet and an external diameter of some 630 Roman feet. To the east and south it is protected by a moat, to the west and north by natural streams and swamps. About 50,000 cubic meter (1.8 million cubic feet) of earth must have been moved for the construction.

More views will be forthcoming in future issues of The Gorean Voice, courtesy of Georg
